Deputy PM Ekniti reveals plan to expand the rooftop solar programme from 1 to 1.5 million households, allocating 50 billion baht (5,000 per household). The Ministry of Interior will present the proposal to the Finance Ministry board on 11 Sept for approval from the 200-billion-baht energy transition fund. Partnership with state utilities, three banks, and training initiatives aims to make households both power consumers and micro-producers, generating up to 1,000 baht monthly income. Concurrent efforts include tariff reduction on solar panel imports to stimulate domestic production (7–8 local factories available) and smart grid infrastructure development.
