Past achievements were considerable; still there is a wide window of opportunities to further promote clean and renewable energy technologies so that the country can better realize its full potential. Renewable energy currently makes up only a small percentage of the total electricity mixes in the country. Advanced clean fossil-fuel based technology is left largely unexplored despite the continued significance of fossil fuels in Thailand. It is thus important for Thailand to promote the implementation of advanced fossil fuel technologies as well as the development of alternative clean fuels.
Although the existing policies for promoting clean energy technologies especially through the power purchase programs are favorable, the government is in the process of conducting a study on other additional mechanisms that will help potential generators overcome the various barriers. More research and development activities, training programs, experience sharing and cooperation at the local as well as regional levels will help accelerate Thailand towards its goal.
Thailand has a lot of energy source. In agriculture sector has a large amount of residues and waste that can be converted into electrical energy and power. The government has a policy of using recycled energy to produce electricity for a long time. For example, a project by SPP and ENCON Fund funding to support the project , he said that SPP will benefit industrial customers and VSREPP project will benefit consumers in rural and agricultural sector.
Thailand is still in the early stages in the development of clean energy. There is also a need to encourage the dissemination of information and the benefits of clean energy technologies, but also the lack of support from financial institutions.
