Energy minister to increase renewable energy in national power plan
Energy Minister Sontirat Sontijirawong will revise the Power Development Plan (PDP) of 2018-2037 by raising the contribution from renewable energy.
He added that this would promote the establishment of community power plants and widen the opportunity of energy access for communities.
He will call meeting with state energy agencies in next few days to discuss the appropriate ratio of the diverse energy sources in the PDP.
He made the remark at the Bangkok Post Forum on the topic, “Roadmap to Success: Up Close with Thailand’s New Ministers”.
The ministry will also deploy the Energy Conservation Fund to support the projects, and will support the energy storage business.
