The NEPC increased the purchasing rate of solar in the public sector from 1.68 to 2.20 baht.

NEPCC continues to drive solar power on the roof of the public sector with a target of 100 megawatts to pay into the system in 2021, increasing the purchase rate to 2.20 baht, expanding to hospitals and schools to buy at 1 baht, expected to generate more investment 3,000 million baht

Mr. Supatthanaphong Phanmechao Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Said after the meeting of the National Energy Policy Council (NEPC), chaired by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-ocha, that the meeting approved the solar energy project for the public sector The remainder is used to sell fire into the system. From the original purchase rate of 1.68 baht / kWh, the purchase target is 50 MW for a period of 10 years, in which the past has only participated in 2-3 MW projects

Therefore, the NEPC wants to promote the household sector To be more involved, the E-brand must be adjusted as an incentive. And will be another part to create jobs And help drive the economy in 2021 and is another good news gift to the people.

Mr. Kulis Sombatsiri The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Energy said the meeting had raised the purchase price of excess electricity from residential housing groups. (Solar power project in the public sector) that sells electricity into the system as 2.20 baht / kWh * from previously purchased at a price not exceeding 1.68 baht / kWh, the purchase target of 50 MWp, purchase period of 10 years, effective from 1st January 2021, which will affect old people who have previously signed a power purchase agreement as well.

Increasing the electricity purchase rate provides better returns and can pay back within 8 – 9 years to create investment incentives and help reduce the cost burden of residents of residential houses.

In addition, it has expanded the results of the project. To schools, educational institutes, hospitals and pumping water for agriculture (It is a pilot project) by setting the purchase price of excess electricity that sells electricity into the system at the rate of 1.00 baht / kWh, divided into schools, schools, 20 MWp, hospital groups 20 MWp and water sources for agriculture 10 MWp.

Which agencies participating in the project Yes, it must have an installed capacity of more than 10 kWp but less than 200 kWp. Electrical stability must not affect the mains power. The purchase period is 10 years to suit the electricity demand and area potential. For an average system installer And promote distributed power generation systems

In the case of government investments in schools and hospitals Assigned to the Ministry of Energy by Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE) received consultation with Ministry of Finance And related agencies Consider improving the law And related regulations To promote the production of solar power on the roof. Able to trade fire as well

It is expected that 100 MWp solar power projects in the public sector and pilot projects in schools and hospitals will generate more than 3 billion baht in investment.

“In the PDP, this is set at 100 MWp as part of the household sector. 50 MWp of residential houses and 50 MWp of the school, hospital, agricultural sector were the first pilot for this year. Next year will be able to sell the lights to the system. That we have to pilot so we can know how much interest these agencies are. Then expand further If people are interested a lot, we have to look at the fire rate that it is stable or not. Therefore, the person who sells the excess power can enter the system, the electricity must be stable. And that we use different tariffs for both groups of households more because we want to promote them From now on, both investments will happen. Solar business And the solar panel removal business followed “
