Thailand's Ministry of Energy adjusted the policy of supporting civilian photovoltaic power generation systems
According to the National plan of Thailand, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation will reach 6GW by 2036. There is more news that The National Power Bureau of Thailand has revised the national photovoltaic power development plan from 2018 to 2037, and the photovoltaic development target in the next 20 years has been increased to 17GW. These include an additional 10GW of rooftop pv and a 2.7GW floating project developed by Thailand's EGAT at nine DAMS. The implementation of the policy has promoted the development of Photovoltaic market in Thailand, which will constitute the main source of new installed capacity in the next two years. Thailand will undoubtedly become one of the emerging photovoltaic markets with the strongest growth trend in the world.
To better encourage and support, the Energy Ministry is considering raising the current grid connection price for residential pv systems to 2-2.20 baht/KWH from the current 1.68 baht/KWH. Photovoltaic power generation, especially household photovoltaic power generation, is an important supplement to the national energy security strategy. The government encourages and supports households to install photovoltaic power generation systems on their roofs.
As well as providing all the electricity needed to power a home, rooftop pv systems have the added benefit of selling surplus power to the state by connecting it to the grid. Photovoltaic power generation as a clean energy, will not cause damage to the surrounding environment. Thailand has long sunshine throughout the year, so the prospect of photovoltaic power generation system for home is very bright.
Photovoltaic systems are well suited to Thailand's remote rural areas, where there is still no electricity. In the past year, only 3-4 MEGAwatts (MW) of household pv power has been connected to the grid, far short of the 100 MW target.
After consulting with experts, the Department of Energy decided to adjust the policy and raise the price of photovoltaic power to attract more households to install photovoltaic systems. The goal is to increase that to 50 megawatts this year and 100-200 megawatts next year.
