2 RE National Plan Committed to the development of low-carbon society Government Funding On R & D & D Activities Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP : ) Private-Led Investment Target 25 % of RE in Total Energy Consumption by Y 2021 (as of end-2013, RE s share of Total Energy Consumption = 10.9 %) Solar Wind Bio-Energy Bio-Fuel 3,000 MW 1,800 MW 100 ktoe 4,800 MW, 100 ktoe Biomass Biogas MSW 4,800 MW 3,600 MW 400 MW 8,500 ktoe 1,000 ktoe 200 ktoe Ethanol Biodiessel 2 nd gen 9 ML/Day 7.20 ML/Day 3 ML/Day 8,800 MW, 9,700 ktoe Mini Hydro Micro Tidal wave New-Energy Geothermal 324 MW 2 MW 1 MW 3 MW 2

3 Islands of Thailand Achievements Village Electrification 71,133 Villages (99.99%) Household Electrification Million (99.09%) Household without electricity = 117,117 Andaman Sea Gulf of Thailand 347 Islands 562 Islands Total = 909 Islands in Thailand 200+ islands are inhabitated. 20+ have submarine 3 power cable.

4 Green Island Model - Paluay Location/ Area - located at Mu Koh Angthong of Suratthani province in the Gulf of Thailand or about 18 km away from Don Sak port km 2 About half of area is in the Angthong National Forest. Bay 4 Bay 3 Bay 2 Bay 1 Population households with 500 people - Occupations : small local fishermen and rubber tree farm - People live on the bay 1, 2, 3 and 4, mainly live on bay 3 4

5 Energy Use in Paluai Power sources - No electricity grid - Diesel generator 25 units - Solar home 115 Units (120 Watt/Unit) - Battery charging station 5 Units Transportation - > 70 Motorcycles (Gasoline consumption 30,000 liters/yr) Cooking - LPG (10,000 kg/yr) - Charcoal as addition > 80 Fishing boats (Diesel consumption 35,000 liters/yr) 5

6 กรอบแนวค ดในการจ Activity Category ดทาแผนปฏ บ ต การ Development of Paluai Island Green Island Model Develop/ Improve basic utilities Encourage community participation and capacity building Develop renewable energy and conservation of energy Fix and maintenance water reservoir and irrigation system Learning center for sufficient economy at school Install lighting system Promote understand in the area of energy/agriculture Training courses to strengthen community Define rules for the development of quality of living and the environment Solar and wind energy for electricity High efficiency stove to reduce charcoal and LPG consumption Solar drying for dried seafood Collaboration from every sectors Government/State Enterprise/Private/Local People

7 Green Activities Develop community understand and participation Develop community relations Transfer RE technologies to the community Solar drying Charcoal production & High efficiency stove Capacity building by Training and site visit programs

8 Low Carbon Town Samui Island Gulf of Thailand Reaching to SAMUI By buses and connecting to SAMUI via Ferry Ports By airplane via SAMUI Airport By personal cars and connecting to SAMUI via Ferry Ports Feasibility Study of Low Carbon Development For Samui Island, Thailand.

9 Samui Island Area 227 km 2 Population >50,000 Immigrant 100,000 Tourist 1,000,000/year Climate Tropical weather Averaged temperature 29 o C with Highest averaged temperature 37 o C in April and May Lowest averaged temperature 21 o C in December and January 54% mountain and hilly area in the central part and uninhabitable 33% plane area 8% beaches 5% low land Commercial Buildings Hotels and Resorts ~15,000 rooms, Stores, residence Economics Values Rely on tourism industry The averaged visitors and tourists expenditure is 100 USD/person/day Feasibility Study of Low Carbon Development For Samui Island, Thailand.

10 Low Carbon Methodology High Level Vision People Oriented Social & Human Value The First Low Carbon Island in Asia-Pacific - Local culture and life-style well mixed with modern life-style - Improve quality of life with eco-lifestyle - Tourists satisfaction with low carbon lifestyle - Natural resources well preserved and undamaged - Green environment enhancement (green products) - Low carbon emission for; Hotels, resorts, schools etc. Transports etc. Environment and Resources Value Economic Value - High value of land and economy - Investment attraction Feasibility Study of Low Carbon Development For Samui Island, Thailand.

11 Concept of LCMT

12 LCMT Measures for SAMUI Island (1) TOWN STRUCTURE PLANNING for Low-Carbon Development Greenery Areas : Forests, Orchards and Urban Areas Non-Greenery : -Sustainable Communities -Non-Automobiles Oriented Communities : Walking Streets (9) ECO- LIFESTYLE Low Carbon Center INCENTIVE PROGRAMME Awards Subsidies (2) TRANSPORTATION Upgrading Public Transportation Diffusion of Low Carbon Vehicles and Development of Charging Stations Mobility Management SUPPLY SIDE (3)-(7) ENERGY Area Energy Planning Renewable Energy Untapped Energy Use Eco-Point Programme Eco-Events Eco- Activities Tax Soft loans Spacing for bicycle and pedestrian Improvement of road condition Providing appropriate sightseeing information DEMAND SIDE Area Energy Management Low Carbon Building (8) ENVIRONMENT Water Supply Management Solid Waste Management Waste Water Management Feasibility Study of Low Carbon Development For Samui Island, Thailand.

13 Area Energy Planning EE Power from Mainland Submarine Cable 193 MW Potential of EE Generating on SAMUI using LC Emission Sources/Technologies ~ 100 MW 50% Feasibility Study of Low Carbon Development For Samui Island, Thailand.

14 RE : Tools for Sustainable Tourism - RE can be integrated with other eco-life style and tourism - Reduce fossil fuel use with lower emissions - Support local tourism business and fisheries - Enjoyable eco-tourism style - Enhance energy security in the area - Improving quality of life - Reduce effects from climate change

15 Possible Further Cooperation with Pacific Island Countries. Technology Transfer Capacity Building Pilot project
