NetMeter.org: Net Metering Resources for Thailand
Project Status

The goal of the Thai Net Metering Project is to help create 10 Megawatts of community-owned or small entrepreneur-owned, net-metered renewable energy in Thailand by the end of 2005. By September, 2005 this goal has been exceeded! However, the small percentage of applicants (16 out of 94) who are actually operational as VSPP generators may indicate bottlenecks in the VSPP process.

The following is a summary of grid-tied net-metered renewable energy systems in Thailand as of September 2005.

  Systems Capacity
Under Consideration 94 26.824 MW
Installed and Operating 16 16.683 MW
