Prime Minister Launches Public Solar Project Targeting 1 Million Households to Help Lower Electricity Bills
Published
The Prime Minister has launched a public solar project to encourage people to install solar panels at their homes. The project aims to get approximately 1 million households to participate and to help people use more clean energy.
Under the project, participants will receive a subsidy of 50,000 baht per house to help reduce the cost of installing a solar system. In addition, electricity produced beyond what the household uses can be sold back into the grid, giving households an additional source of income.
Government authorities estimate that the project will reduce people's electricity burden by a total of more than 24,500 million baht per year, benefiting both households and the country's energy system.
The public solar project is considered one of the approaches the government is using to promote renewable energy and to give people more options for managing their own electricity costs. Those interested can follow registration details and participation conditions through the relevant agencies.
