The 15-yr Renewable Energy Development Plan was carried out with an aim to increase the use of renewable energy to a share of 20 percent among final energy consumption by the year of 2022. It includes various renewable energy types: solar, wind, hydro power, biomass, biogas, waste and ethanol. 15 years between 2008 and 2022 are divided into 3 phases: short term 2008-2011 with emphasis on promotion of commercial alternative energy technologies and biofuels, co-generation from biomass and biogas; mid-term 2012-2016 with focus on development of alternative energy technology industry, including new technologies R&D and introduction of Green City model at Thai communities; long term 2017-2022 focusing on promoting utilization of new alternative energy technologies such as hydrogen, bio hydrogenated and extend green city models at Thai communities.

A roadmap showing renewable and alternative energy development strategy through 2021, including target value of cumulative capacity, framework and development plans for each type of renewable energy.

A solar rooftop programme supports deployment of rooftop PV by providing a full feed-in tariff granted for duration of 25 years starting from the scheduled commercial operation date (SCOD). The aim is to reduce the state's investment burden, generating more electricity, trimming power usage at load center, and raise the country's power security. It is a change of rate structure of Thailand Feed-in Tariff policy, from adder to fixed FiT, reflecting the idea of Thai government to make renewable energy investment less risk for both developer and have fair price for end user. Up to 2014, the fixed Feed-in Tariff policy is mostly applied to solar energy. ---Note: “VSPP Applicant” or “VSPP” means a person who intends to generate electricity from a solar PV rooftop system and sell that power to the Power Distributor, with a sale capacity of up to 10 MW; “SCOD” means scheduled commercial operation date.

Addresses energy conservation in factories, buildings,machinery, equipment and promotion of energy-efficient materials. It establishes a fund for energy conservation; measures of promotion and assistance; surcharges; competent officers; and appeals and punishments.

Amendment of the Energy Conservation Act BE 2535 (1992). Addresses energy conservation in factories, buildings, machinery, equipment and promotion of energy-efficient materials. Confirms the power of Minister to issue regulations. Sets up "Energy Conservation Promotion Fund" to be used as working capital and as grants or subsidies for implementation of energy conservation-related work.

The ESCO Revolving Fund aims to encourage private investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects which are viable, but seek for project finance. Also, ESCO Revolving Fund facilitates project owners or investors in order to benefit from selling carbon credit.
