Solar PV
Thailand has excellent solar resources, with the most intensive solar energy found in north and part of the central region.
There is presently about 5.5 MW of Solar PV
installed in Thailand, mostly off-grid in remote areas. The
government expects another 9 MW of grid-connected PV by 2006.

Micro-Hydro
Since 1983, 59 micro-hydro power generators sized under 200 kW have been installed in rural Thai
communities. Although only half of this 2 MW of installed capacity
remains in service, Net Metering now allows these systems to connect
to the grid to generate electricity and income.
