If grocery’s main feature is innovation, manufacturers and buyers agree that further growth in the sector will depend on the ability to combine advanced technologies and cost-effective processes with excellence, sustainability and customisation: as the reference meeting point in Italy for international companies and buyers, TUTTOFOOD will address these challenges and will showcase solutions to turn them into business opportunities.

HYDRO-FLOATING SOLAR HYBRID: THE ULTIMATE CLEAN ENERGY INNOVATION
HYDRO-FLOATING SOLAR HYBRID
THE ULTIMATE CLEAN ENERGY INNOVATION Nowadays, the world seems to be moving towards clean energy as it is seen as one of the key solutions to address the problem of climate change. However, there are limitations in generating electricity from several forms of clean energy because they are subject to climate and other conditions. For example, solar cells can only generate electricity when there is sunlight with enough intensity. As a result, it is not always possible to rely on solar energy, as well as some other types of renewable energy, as primary sources of power generation, to the extent that we need to also rely on electricity generated by conventional means. The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) is playing a key role in producing clean power from renewable energies. The Hydro-Floating Solar Hybrid Project at Sirindhorn Dam underscores EGAT’s endeavors in this role by means of combining solar and hydropower in a hybrid system. Basically, the solar farm at Sirindhorn Dam generates power during the day when there is sufficient light intensity. But when solar production is constrained by low light intensity and during night time, the hydropower kicks in to supplement the electricity supply shortfall. This supplementation also applies during the period of high demand for electricity, or in peak times, to enhance the efficiency of electricity generation. This hybrid system, one of the largest of its kind in the world, takes the form of a 45-MW floating solar farm occupying an area of about 450 rai, accounting for 1% of the surface area of Sirindhorn Dam reservoir. It takes advantage of already existing facilities such as the transmission line and substations. As the project makes the most of existing resources, this reduces the cost of electricity generation.

HYDRO-FLOATING SOLAR HYBRID: THE ULTIMATE CLEAN ENERGY INNOVATION
The solar panels used for the project are of a double-glass type that withstands high humidity, does not release contaminants into the water, and is safe to use. The buoys, on which the solar panels are mounted, are made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), the same material used to produce water supply pipes, and is environmentally friendly. Certain sections allow air to flow into the water surface while light penetrates underwater. The floating solar farm helps to curb greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) that cause global warming, to the tune of about 47,000 tons a year, equivalent to planting 37,600 rai of forest (according to EGAT’s research), while reducing imports of fuel for power generation. Meanwhile, based on the project’s feasibility study report, installing the solar farm over the water surface reduces water evaporation by as much as 460,000 cubic meters a year. The project entails adoption of an Energy Management System (EMS), an advanced technology that efficiently controls the dispatch of electrical power from both generating sources. Ensuring uninterrupted production reduces the supply uncertainty of renewable energy and strengthens the security of the country’s power supplies. The floating solar power system has already been synchronized with the grid and started its commercial operation on October 31, 2021. Besides providing benefits in the form of clean energy, the Hydro-Floating Solar Hybrid Project at Sirindhorn Dam serves as a public learning center for integrated renewable energy. EGAT has cooperated with Ubon Ratchathani Province to turn the project’s
neighborhood into a new tourism spot in the province. The main attraction is a Nature Walkway, an arrangement of skywalk corridors rising 5-10 meters above the ground. This multi-purpose construction allows visitors to enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the floating solar farm surrounded by trees. This tourism initiative will not only help create jobs and raise incomes for local people sustainably, but will also support the province’s economy as a whole. In undertaking the project, EGAT is contributing to the Power Development Fund based on rates specified by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). The communities can use the funds for local developments in relation to quality of life, occupations, agriculture, education, and health. EGAT also places great importance on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities that support promotion of occupations in local communities. Support for groups engaged in fishing, hand-woven fabrics and dyeing, minnow cultivation, bamboo basketry, and rafting are enabling the communities to be more sustainable and self-sufficient. EGAT is committed to developing innovations to overcome the limitations of renewable energy. From the achievement of the hybrid project at Sirindhorn Dam, EGAT has continued to implement this kind of project at EGAT’s nine dams nationwide. Altogether these will yield 2,725 MW in installed generating capacity. The idea is to stabilize renewable energy output in keeping with international endeavors to solve the world’s climate change problem, at the same time enabling Thai people to consume electricity from clean energy sustainably.

THAILAND BOI APPROVES ENHANCED MEASURE TO BOOST EV SECTOR; REPORTS 110.7 BILLION BAHT IN INVESTMENT APLLICATIONS IN Q1
BOI APPROVES ENHANCED MEASURE TO BOOST EV SECTOR; REPORTS 110.7 BILLION BAHT IN INVESTMENT APPLICATIONS IN Q1 In line with the Thai government’s policy to accelerate the growth of the domestic market for electric vehicles (EV) and help to quickly expand the related infrastructure, especially charging stations, the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) today approved revised incentives and conditions for investments in that sector. Adding to the 5-year corporate income tax exemption available to investments in charging stations with at least 40 chargers, 25% of which are DC type, the revised measures now allow smaller charging stations to be eligible to 3-year tax benefits, Ms. Duangjai Asawachintachit, Secretary General of the BOI, told reporters. The revised measures also abolish two requirements, namely the condition barring investors to receive additional benefits from other agencies, and the requirement for ISO certification. These two conditions are no longer relevant given that some chargers could be installed in other establishments such as hotels and condominiums, not necessarily at typical charging stations. Moreover, in order to ensure rapid expansion of charging facilities, a combination of several support measures may be required. Charging station investors are now only required to adhere to the relevant safety regulations and to submit either a plan to implement an EV Smart Charging System or to connect to an EV Charging Network Operator Platform which is to be developed as a central mechanism to create an efficient management for both operators and battery electric vehicle (BEV) users. “We have listened to the EV-related investors’ concerns and revised the measures to ensure that our incentives stay relevant in a fast-changing business environment. This will enable investors, particularly SMEs and startups to have more access to BOI benefits, and manage their costs more effectively,” said Ms. Duangjai, who was speaking after a board meeting chaired by Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-ocha. The BOI already provides comprehensive incentives to the EV sector’s supply chain, with measures to promote the manufacturing of both complete vehicles and essential parts. First Quarter Investment Applications Total 110.7 Billion Baht Ms. Duangjai reported to the board that the total value of foreign and local investment promotion applications during the first quarter of 2022 showed a slight decline in combined value due to the impact of the global geopolitical and economic challenges, partly softened by a small rise in the number of project applications. During the January to March period, the BOI received applications for investment promotion worth a total of 110.7 billion baht (USD 3.4 billion), a decrease of 6% when compared with the same period last year. The number of applications, 378 projects, represented an increase of 1% over the year earlier quarter.
Ms. Duangjai Asawachintachit Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) Secretary General During this period, FDI grew by 29% and accounted for 70% of total pledges, with 77.3 billion baht in investment value. The top three on the list of FDI sources for the quarter were Taiwan, Japan and China. Among the targeted industries, the automotive and parts sector topped the list with investment value of 41.6 billion baht, or around 53% of target industries’ applications during the period, followed by agriculture and food processing with 12 billion baht, and electronics with 10.3 billion baht. Overall, the 12 targeted sectors attracted a combined value of 78.2 billion baht, representing 70.6% of the total pledges. In terms of regions, the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), the country’s high technology and manufacturing hub, attracted the most applications with 60.4 billion baht. It is also worth noting that some interesting large scale investment projects in advanced technology industries/services were approved by the BOI during this first quarter such as specialty fibers, data centers, multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors, optical fiber telecommunication equipment, hard disk drives, multi-layer printed circuit boards and copper foil for multi-layer PCBs, Ms. Duangjai said. BCG Startup Investment Day Ms. Duangjai also told reporters about the success of the BCG Startup Investment Day that the BOI and the National Innovation Agency jointly held on March 24, 2022. The event was attended by more than 1,000 participants in face-to-face and online meetings. Under the concept “Bio-Circular-Green Economy”, the event aimed to strengthen the country’s biodiversity capabilities and create opportunities for startups in medical, agriculture, food and energy sectors to meet with investors from world-class incubators, venture capital and corporate venture capital funds.
