Renewable Energy Scheme Set to Launch in Q4
The second phase of a 3.6-gigawatt renewable energy scheme is set to launch in the fourth quarter after resolving legal disputes. The Energy Regulatory Commission will prioritize developers from the first phase and include solar, wind, and industrial waste-to-energy projects.
The delayed second-phase of a 3.6-gigawatt renewable energy scheme is expected to start in the fourth quarter of this year.
This follows the resolution of legal disputes related to the first phase, stated an official from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
The scheme was previously held up due to a court order over alleged irregularities in the selection process for 1,500 megawatts of wind power.
The complaint was lodged by Khon Kaen Wind 2 Co, a subsidiary of Energy Absolute (EA).
EA has since withdrawn the complaint, allowing the ERC to move forward.
The ERC will now finalize auction conditions cautiously to prevent future legal issues.
Developers not awarded licenses in the first phase will be prioritized.
The second phase will include solar, wind, and industrial waste-to-energy projects.
