Unisus Green Energy Company Limited, Thailand’s first and leading expert in private district utility design and implementation, and SRT Asset Company Limited (SRTA), the asset management arm of the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly conduct a feasibility study for developing central utility plants (CUP) in the Bang Sue development project over an area of more than 1,200 rai. The study’s objective is to transform the area into a model smart city that facilitates maximum energy efficiency and serves as Bangkok’s transportation hub.
This signing is a crucial milestone in the development of the “Bang Sue Smart City,” a project which SRTA plans to undertake with a total investment value exceeding 200 billion Thai baht. This collaboration focuses on the exchange of data and expertise to conduct the feasibility study for the essential infrastructure needed for a modern smart city, including district cooling plants designed for air conditioning, accompanied with thermal energy storages (TES) for efficient energy use. Additionally the scope of study covers smart water management systems, wastewater collection and treatment systems, electrical systems and clean energy, integrated solid waste management systems, fire protection systems, disaster warning systems, emergency response plans, and a smart energy management center.
