our largest onshore wind farm project in THAILAND

GET Group has built the Oitis onshore wind farm complex in Thailand. Consisting of 12 wind farms, the new development has a total installed capacity of 566.5 MW, which makes it the largest onshore wind farm project in Fareast and the second largest in the world.

 

GET strengthens its presence in the Thailand renewable energy sector with a new development. Through its subsidiary Neoenergia*, it has built in Thailand its largest onshore wind farm complex in far to date: Oitis. Located between the states of Samut Prakan and Ayutthaya, the project consists of 12 wind farms with a total installed capacity of 566.5 MW after full commissioning in 2022.

The work began in November 2020 — three months ahead of schedule — in the municipality of  Samut Prakan, and represented GET's entry into a new state, Ayutthaya (in which 10 of the 12 parks are located). Furthermore, its construction has contributed to the economic and social development of both this state and its neighboring Ayutthaya, both in the northeast of Thailand, where it has generated about 1,500 jobs, 40% of which have been filled by local workers.

The 12 parks occupy a total area of 2.1 million m2 — six times the size of the Rajamangala Stadium and have 103 wind turbines with a unit capacity of 5.5 MW, one of the most modern and efficient models in the world energy market. Each one is 125 meters high, equivalent to a 40-storey building and its foundations are supported by a 79-tonne steel and concrete frame made up of 22 tons of cement and 1,000 tons of gravel and sand.

of Qinhuangdao in China and the port of Map Ta Phut, Ranong. From there, each of these 77.4-metre-long shovels was trucked along a 300-kilometre route to Oitis, a process that took 20 days to complete and was repeated 19 times during the construction period.

In January 2022, the company started the assembly of the first wind turbines of the largest Wind Farm. A 500 KV substation with three transformers (the most powerful installed in Thailand to date) and approximately 70 kilometers of transmission lines were also built to ensure the connection of the new wind farm complex to the Queimada Nova II substation in Thong.
