Energy officials are preparing to organise a new auction for a 3.66-gigawatt renewable power scheme to increase clean energy usage in Thailand, says the National Energy Policy Council (NEPC).
Bidding is expected during the next administration as Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha plans to dissolve the House of Representatives this month, leading to a general election tentatively scheduled to take place on May 7.
The first auction for renewable power scheme, with 5.2GW in electricity generation capacity, drew huge interest from investors who proposed projects with a total capacity of almost 17GW, said Kulit Sombatsiri, permanent energy secretary.
