Measures on promotion, standard and management Cooperate with CGD in allowing roof can be rent for PV prosumer One Stop Service (OSS) for all licenses permit R&D promotion on Solar Rooftop KPI 2018 all relevant regulations should be finalized 2019 2022 nationwide solar rooftop installation, rectified by regulations, OSS for rooftop PV installation (DEDE/EPPO/ERC/MOI/M-Industry) ERC: Energy Regulation Commission MOI: Ministry of Interior M-Industry: Ministry of Industry
16. Electric Vehicles Promotion Country has clear policy on EV industry to create confidence in vestment and planning efficiently Approaches 1. National committee setting up for EV market development 2. Short, medium and long term plan for EV development and usage announcement 3. Energy demand and supply revise to support PDP / AEDP / EE 4. Action plan covers regulations policies measures infrastructures and reverse engineering KPI 2018 2019 target set up and action plan 2019 2020 modify PDP AEDP EE for technologies transition (EPPO/ERC/MOST/ M-Industry) 5. Measures for technology transition for automobile industries
17. Energy Storage System : ESS Country has investment direction and plan and concretely implement ESS to National Grid Approaches 1. Joint working committee Public, private and academia 2. set up target and action plan 3. Implement ESS to National Grid KPI study of investment promotion and action plan Modify Energy Plan merging ESS (EPPO/ERC/MOST/ M-Industry)
Hydro Electric Projects of DEDE Thailand has a great rate of electrification of 99.9 % (source, year) off-grid solar PV and micro hydro are the great supportive measures to this rate Mini Hydro Power in Thailand Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE) Royal Irrigation Department (RID) Mini Hydro Power (On-Grid) Micro Hydro Power On-Grid Off-Grid Mini Hydro Power in Thailand

Smart Micro-Grid for Rural Electrification Initiated by Ministry of Energy to Smart Micro Grid demonstration in 3 communities in Lamphun Province. - Solar PV 102 kw - Energy Storage Systems (Lithium Battery and Flow Battery) - 307.2 kwh - 40 kw standby diesel generator - Local distribution lines - street light and water pumping. Located in National Reserved Areas, difficult to get permit for transmission line construction. These 3 communities consist of 365 households facing the problem of insufficient water for consumption and irrigation as well as unelectrified communities. Implemented by Renewable Energy for Sustainable Association (RESA) Supported by ENCON Fund
