Energy Conservation Fund on Bt10bn mission to create jobs
New criteria for organisations who wish to apply for the Bt10-billion Energy Conservation Promotion Fund next fiscal year should be finalised by the end of this month, said Energy Ministry permanent secretary Kulit Sombatsiri.
The new criteria, which focus on creating jobs in local communities, will be presented to the National Energy Policy Committee in October.
Kulit mentioned funding had hit obstacles this fiscal year, including slow project screening. Applicants had shown a lack of experience in writing reports for funding, he explained.
