\"Meli\u00e1<\/a>Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, November 5, 2024 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Two Meli\u00e1 hotels in Vietnam and one in Thailand are taking their green goals to the next level with ambitious solar panel projects that have seen over 2,600 solar panels added to Meli\u00e1 Vinpearl Cua Hoi Beach Resort and Meli\u00e1 Vinpearl Cua Sot Beach Resort, both along Vietnam\u2019s north central coast, and Meli\u00e1 Phuket Mai Khao on the tropical island of Phuket.<\/p>\n

These seafront destinations are making the most of the sunshine with the addition of 1,450 panels at Meli\u00e1 Vinpearl Cua Hoi, 546 at Meli\u00e1 Vinpearl Cua Sot, and 622 at Meli\u00e1 Phuket Mai Khao. In Vietnam, panels have been added to several areas including rooftops, in parking areas, offices and other back of house locations. In Thailand, they have been installed on ten different buildings at the oceanfront resort, including the YHI spa and lobby area.<\/p>\n

The new systems in Vietnam are projected to supply between 10-30% of each hotel\u2019s total electricity consumption. The new panels at Meli\u00e1 Phuket Mai Khao will generate energy of 39,414.94 Kw each month.<\/p>\n

Following these installations, Meli\u00e1 Vinpearl Cam Ranh Beach Resort will be the next property to implement solar panels later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSolar panels are just one of the sustainable initiatives that our hotels are pursuing to ensure a healthier future in places where we have properties,\u201d said Ignacio Martin, managing director for Meli\u00e1 Hotels International in the APAC region. \u201cOur hotels and resorts are also investing in circular food economies, community projects focused on restoring local natural environments, and plastic reduction or elimination, to name a few initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vietnam is Southeast Asia\u2019s largest solar power market with an operating utility-scale solar and wind capacity of 19 GW, according to Global Energy Monitor. Thailand and The Philippines follow with a capacity of 3 GW each.<\/p>\n
