BANGKOK, THAILAND: Ratchaburi Electricity Generating Holding Plc (RATCH) expects its 4.274-billion-baht wind power site will be operated in 2011 after two years of feasibility studies, president Noppol Milinthanggoon said yesterday.

The company is now selecting contractors for the 60-megawatt wind turbine, located in Khao Kho, Phetchabun, and is seeking the approval from the Royal Forest Department to use 1,000 rai of land.

"Once the wind turbine starts operating, it will be the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia and we plan for it to become an attractive tourist spot in Phetchabun," Mr Noppol said.

The project is being developed by Sustainable Energy Corporation (SEC) which is 60 percent owned by Renewable Energy Co, a local research house for alternative fuel, 35 percent by Ratchaburi and 10 percent by retail investors.
