Thailand rooftop solar reform targets lower gas dependence

SolarNews Brief

IEEFA is calling for reform of Thailand’s rooftop solar policy framework to reduce the country’s dependence on gas-fired power. The issue is commercially important because rooftop PV can cut fuel exposure, but deployment depends on rules for exports, compensation, permitting and grid participation.

Thailand’s power system remains heavily exposed to gas and imported LNG, making rooftop solar a practical tool for reducing fuel-price and energy-security risks. Policy changes around net billing, buyback design and grid access could improve the economics for households and businesses that install PV. For the solar sector, the reform debate is about turning rooftop systems from a niche customer product into a meaningful distributed resource for the national power mix.
