GUNKUL, a listed Thai energy and EPC company, is building a 784 MW floating solar project on Laguna Lake in the Philippines, with construction targeted for late October or early November 2569 and commercial operation in Q4 2570. For a Thai SME, the direct relevance is in Thailand: the new PDP is open for public comment from 8 September 2569, with approval expected around November and a new power auction in 2570. The company also says the Direct PPA cap for clean-power buyers has been lifted and a Solar Community quota of about 1,500 MW is expected to open in Q4 2569. Grid and transmission spending (a 10-year plan of about 100,000 million baht) may create EPC and electrical equipment subcontracting work. Most of this is a listed company's investor outlook, so treat the figures as its own estimates. Suppliers of electrical equipment, cabling or construction services may want to watch the PDP consultation and tender timing.
