Thailand: Revising rules for very small power producers (VSPP) to reward production of electricity from renewable sources

The Energy Ministry has revived a plan to buy electricity from very small hydropower producers by including them in the government-sponsored Very Small Power Producers (VSPP) programme, which aims to increase the incomes of communities with small electricity plants. Electricity generated by the small hydropower plants will be sold to the grid system of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), according to Energy Minister Piyasvasti Amranand.
