”We are proud to be supporting Thailand’s goals of shifting to clean, renewable sources of power,” said OPIC president and CEO Elizabeth Littlefield. “This project allows SunEdison to develop a pipeline of solar projects in Thailand that would otherwise require significantly more resources for OPIC to implement on a project-by-project basis.”

SunEdison’s decision to invest in Thailand is a further boost to the country’s flourishing solar sector; in the past 12 months Conergy, Suntech and Phoenix Solar have all announced or completed installations in Thailand.
