Thailand

Since the beginning of April 2016, THE RACHA luxury resort in Thailand is being supplied with photovoltaic energy and is now saving over 320 liters of diesel each day.

For a number of years now, the island’s management has been pursuing a sustainability concept with the aim of improving the resort’s ecological footprint and energy consumption. When the management became aware of DHYBRID in 2015, it quickly identified the DHYBRID Universal Power Platform (UPP) as a means of significantly reducing the island’s diesel consumption. Price fluctuations and other risks are associated with deliveries of fuel to the island. The less fuel the island uses, the better!

“We are very pleased with the successful completion of the Solar Diesel Hybrid system from DHYBRID. Their team of engineers displayed very good work ethics and quality standards in the installation and commissioning of the system in just 3.5 weeks. The Solar Diesel Hybrid system has performed to the designed specs and we have been realizing fuel savings of approximately 120,000 liters per year, which should result in a reduction of 295 tons of CO2 emissions each year. We are glad to have worked with DHYBRID in our quest to be a leader in environmentally sustainable tourism.” says Daniel Lim, Managing Director of THE RACHA.
