In this new auction, the ERC will increase from ground-mounted solar energy. (Solar farms), wind power, biogas, industrial waste
together with the ERC collecting power plants that cannot produce as planned PDP 2018 The 1st revision, for example, electricity from Lao PDR that might not generate electricity into the system in time in 2028 and collected both the parts that might not be generated into the system according to the PDP plan and those that the NEPC approved to purchase electricity Such increased renewable energy
In order to open for purchase of electricity from renewable energy, a total increase of 3,668 megawatts from the first round that was just opened for purchase of 5,203 megawatts in the first auction.

For the resolution of the NEPC, it was agreed that the purchase of renewable energy increased by 3,668 megawatts, divided into
1. Solar Farm 2,632 MW from the first purchase of 2,368 MW
2. Wind power 1,000 MW from the first round buy 1,500 MW
3. Biogas 6.5 MW, the first round has no qualifications
4. Industrial waste 100 MW from the first round, open for 200 MW, but there is a purchase order of 100 MW, then an additional 30 MW will be added, totaling 130 MW.
Including in accepting the purchase of additional renewable energy electricity this time will continue to open following the completion of the first round of purchase of 5,203 MW using the same regulations of ERC for purchasing electricity (in the form of a Non-Firm contract with a power purchase contract term of 20-25 years)
For the 1st Renewable Energy Electricity Purchase Auction The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) on April 5, 2023, approved the list of applicants for electricity production who were selected according to the regulations. ERC for the group without fuel costs, 2022, there are 175 people who have passed the selection process, the amount offered for sale is 4,852.26 megawatts from those who have been considered, a total of 670 projects, more than 17 thousand megawatts.
In this regard, there will be a written notice to the selected power generation applicants to acknowledge and accept the conditions of signing the power purchase agreement by April 19, 2023.
A news report from the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) states that Thailand currently has 53,340 megawatts of backup power, 49% of which is natural gas, with most of Thailand’s electricity coming from private power plants. Can be divided as follows
- Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, 32% stake
- Major Power Producer (IPP) with 31% stake
- Power Plants of Small Power Producers (SPPs) Very Small Power Producers (VSPPs) with 25% stake
- Electricity imports from neighboring countries 12%
