11 Energy Consumption in Thai Industries

12 Barriers Lack of successful references Lack of technical know-how High project development costs, lengthy permitting process Uncertainties related to long term biomass supply Wrong perception of environmental impact on communities Lack of favorable government policies Financial issues

13 Energy Policy and Strategy Development of enewable Energy Promotion of Energy Efficiency

14 Stakeholders in E Development Government Agencies & Public Utilities The Energy Policy and Planning Office The National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) Department of Energy Development and Promotion (DEDP) Electricity Authority of Thailand (EGAT) Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) Interest Groups (NGOs) Sustainable Energy Network (SEN) Appropriate Technology Association (ATA) Private Stakeholders The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) The Energy Conservation Center of Thailand (ECCT) COGEN The Cogeneration Public Company Limited (COCO) The Electricity Generating Public Company Limited (EGCO)

15 Energy and E Development Policies The Energy Conservation and Promotion Act (ENCON) Energy Conservation Promotion Fund (ENCON Fund) established under the ENCON Act. Article 24 Money transferred from the Petroleum Fund Levies imposed on petroleum product producers and importers at a rate determined by the National Energy Policy Council (NEPC) Additional sources, e.g., surcharges on power consumption, government subsidies, etc. Energy Conservation Program Privatization of the Energy Sector Price Policy Tax eduction Supports for enewable Energy

16 Governmental Support Through SPP program, EGAT is committed to buy power from renewable energy SPPs and VSPPs Energy Conservation (ENCON) program of the Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO) offered tariff subsidies of up to 0.36 baht per kwh to E

17 Small Power Producers Scheme The Small Power Producer (SPP) regulations launched in 1992 and cover small-scale non-conventional power plants, including biomass Assistance from the EC-ASEAN COGEN programme to transfer EU technologies EPPO and EGAT are also proposing an additional subsidy of up to 0.6 Bt per kwh as an incentive for the new biomass-fired projects to offset the relatively high specific investment cost of such plants

18 ENCON Biogas 12 biogas demonstration plants for tapioca starch producing factories 166 million baht (30% of capital cost) Wastewaters 25 million m 3 4 agencies Department of Energy Development and Promotion (DEDP) (4 factories UASB) Department of Factory (3 factories UASB) BAU, Chiang Mai University (2 factories H-UASB) KMUTT (3 factories Anaerobic Fixed Film eactor) Biogas generated 36 million m 3 Electricity 44 MkWh/year Fuel oil 22 million liters (174 million baht)

19 ENCON Co-Generation equest for proposal (43 proposals; 775 MW) Preliminary evaluation on technical feasibility, financial, etc. (31 projects approved, MW) Public consultation hearing 10 km radius Community participation EIA Monitor and evaluation Three party committee Government agent, community representative, and plant owner Environmental and Social Impact Assessment 20 projects approved; MW; 1400 million baht support
