Ubon Ratchathani - SPP4 Solar Power Plant: 6 MW Solar PV Facility in Thailand

Ubon Ratchathani - SPP4 Solar Power Plant is a 6 MW solar photovoltaic facility located in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand. The plant is owned and operated by SPP Four Co Ltd (SPP 4) and is currently operational, supplying electricity to the grid. The facility operates under Thailand's renewable energy support framework, which includes feed-in tariffs and the Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) targeting 30% renewable energy by 2037. As a medium-scale solar PV plant, it contributes to the country's solar capacity, which has grown significantly in recent years. The plant's location in northeastern Thailand benefits from high solar irradiance, supporting efficient energy generation. By displacing fossil fuel-based electricity, the facility helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supports Thailand's transition to a low-carbon energy system.

The plant is situated in a region with high solar irradiance, typical of northeastern Thailand. Solar PV installations like this one have minimal water consumption and low operational emissions, but require land use that could affect local ecosystems. Proper siting and land management are important to minimize habitat disruption.
