KBank, in partnership with Huawei Technologies (Thailand) Co., Ltd., embraces growing ‘green’ trend by launching its ‘green loan’ to drive a greener society. The loan will support the green ecosystem from upstream to downstream operations including contractors, homeowners, and business owners. This project aims to install solar rooftop in 30,000 homes to lower electric bills and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 265,000 metric tons within one year.
Mr. Pipit Aneaknithi, President, KASIKORNBANK revealed, “After KASIKORNBANK launched the ‘GO GREEN Together’ project in February, we have been receiving increased interest from customers, especially from electric car and solar roof prospects, reflecting consumers’ changing demands. This is also in line with Kasikorn Research Center’s forecast that by 2022, solar roof installations in the business sector will grow to 125.9 MV, an increase of 54% from the previous year. The demand from the household sector is expected to increase due to growing demands from real estate developers’ new housing projects while more consumers are increasingly concerned about ‘Going Green’ trends and higher electric bills,”
