Draft comes as solar reliance rises

- YUTHANA PRAIWAN

Authorities have started drafting a new version of the power development plan (PDP), focusing on the nation's long-term power supply management amid a surge in solar power, says the Energy Policy and Planning Office (Eppo).

The issue is being discussed by energy officials who plan to introduce the PDP in 2026, said Wattanapong Kurovat, director-general of Eppo.

Thai power producers in the independent electricity supply category have increased, especially businesses developing solar power generation facilities for their own usage.

Solar power gained popularity as electricity bills soared and the prices of solar panels decline.
