IRPC decides not to bid IPP project.

IRPC decides not to participate in the bidding for the Independent Power Producer project due to strong protest from the villagers in Rayong province.



Piti Yimprasert, IRPC's chief executive officer, said the IRPC, the petrochemical company, decided not to participate in IPP project in which the interested companies can submit the bidding on 19 Oct. Piti said he had discussed with the investment partners and they decided not to take part because it would take some time before an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will be approved.

IRPC earlier faced strong protest from the people in Rayong province where the company planned to construct the coal-fired power plant.

"IRPC wants to apologise to people in Rayong for causing the concerns," he said.
