Court drops SPCG case against PEA

The Central Administrative Court has dropped a lawsuit filed by solar farm developer SPCG Plc which requested compensation of 3.7 billion baht from the state-run Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) for its subsidiary due to the cancellation of the subsidiary's right to develop and operate a solar farm to supply power to the PEA.

The judge reasoned that SPCG subsidiary Set Energy is not a signatory to a power purchase agreement (PPA).

SPCG and PEA's wholly owned PEA Encom International jointly set up Set Energy Co, with SPCG being the largest shareholder, to develop and operate the solar farm with a power generation capacity of at least 500 megawatts in the Eastern Economic Corridor.
