The Cabinet sent wood "Public Solar" sells electricity to the system, the purchase price is 2.20 baht, accepting that there are still limitations. hopes that the new government will help continue
Ms. Tipanan Sirichana, Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, revealed that the Cabinet meeting (Cabinet) acknowledged the results of the study of the public sector solar project implementation. In the event that the public sends the remaining electricity from home use Delivered to the system to be deducted from the electricity units that people use electricity in the next month. as proposed by the Ministry of Energy by allowing the public to use the remaining electricity Sell to the Electricity Authority at the purchase price of 2.20 baht
Acknowledged that from the results of the study there are limitations that prevent people from sending the remaining electricity from their use to the system to deduct from the electricity units that people use electricity in the next month, namely: 1. Regulations and laws Sending the remaining electricity from use to the system to be deducted from the electricity unit that people use in the next month. It is a power purchase transaction between the people and the Electricity Distributor. Hence the burden of VAT. both purchase and sale transactions There are no regulations and laws to support the calculation of VAT from the difference of each transaction. Therefore, it must be exempted from VAT. from the Director-General of the Revenue Department
2. Technical and related methods Will affect the voltage in the system is unbalanced. Since electricity produced from solar is volatile and unstable. causing damage to the electrical equipment in the system reduced performance and service life
If there is a large amount of electricity flowing back into the network system The size and rating of protective devices in the new power system must be changed. to support the increased power generation Including having a control system and management. so as not to affect the quality of electricity and the stability of the overall power system And it also increases the burden on solar power producers installing Solar Rooftop to change the meter equipment to digital meters. in order to be able to inspect the power quality and the amount of electricity flowing back into the power system
3. In terms of the impact on the country and people as a whole, it was found that the cost of electricity will vary according to the fuel cost of each period As a result, electricity consumers across the country have to bear the cost of buying more high-priced electricity. from low-income electricity consumers Or residential houses that cannot install Solar Rooftop because the additional cost from buying electricity from Solar Rooftop will be redistributed back to the Ft and also affects the stability of the electrical system.
“The results of the above study acknowledge that there are regulatory, legal, technical and methodological obstacles. therefore unable to proceed Therefore, measures to promote electricity generation from solar energy installed on the roof (Solar Rooftop) must be used first. If in the future there is a Solar Rooftop installed to generate more electricity for household use. There will be a restructuring of electricity tariffs to reflect hidden costs such as VAT. happened with to encourage people to install more Solar Rooftops,” Ms. Tipanan said.-Thai News Agency
