Feed-in tariff for distributed solar systems

On 16 July 2013 the National Energy Policy Commission (NPS) of Thailand adopted new feed-in tariff scheme supporting rooftop and community ground-mounted solar installations.

The goal of the scheme is to support installation of 1 GW of new, small-scale solar systems in Thailand by 2014.

Feed-in tariff for rooftop solar installations to be operational by December 2013:

Renewable source	Power plant capacity	Period of time	Feed-in tariff rate in BHT/kWh	Cap
Rooftop solar	0 – 10 kW	25 years	6.96	200 MW
	10 – 250 kW		6.55
	250 kW – 1MW		6.16

 

Feed-in tariff for community ground-mounted solar reduced twice over period of 25 years and to be operational by December 2014:

Renewable source	Granted for total of years:	Year of plant operation	Feed-in tariff rate in BHT/kWh	Cap
Community ground-mounted solar	25 years	1-3	9.75	800 MW
		4-10	6.5
		11-25	4.5
