Market Overview
The market for solar energy in Thailand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.14% during the forecast period of 2019 – 2024. Factors such as strong government support for solar power development in the form of feed-in tariffs, and Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) and declining costs of solar PV systems are expected to drive the solar energy market in Thailand during the forecast period. However, uncertainties regarding the access to the power grid are expected to restrain the operators from investing in renewable power projects during the forecast period.
- The ground mounted solar PV segment accounts for the largest share in the Thailand solar energy market owing to the installed capacity of ground mounted solar PV and a number of upcoming projects in the country.
- One of the problems faced by the solar market in Thailand is that the state control dominates the market. The monopoly of the government has made the market overly competitive for private operators. The announcement of new solar development plans by the Thai Energy Policy and Planning Office in 2017 is aimed at increasing private firm participation. This, in turn, is likely to provide significant opportunities for growth in the solar energy market in Thailand in the future.

Key Market Trends
Upcoming Ground Mounted Solar Power Projects
- Energy security is among the top priorities for Thailand. More than half of the country's energy supply depends upon imported energy. The fraction of imported energy is likely to increase if the country's proven reserves of oil and gas are depleted, as anticipated in less than a decade unless other indigenous energy sources are exploited, such as solar.
- In order to address the above-mentioned issue, the government of Thailand has taken various initiatives and has set targets to promote renewable energy in the country.
- Towards the latter end of 2017, the submissions of Thailand’s first 300MW hybrid PPA scheme took place, and the government encouraged the use of energy storage to supplement renewable energy generation.
- Also, one of the major incentives of large scale ground-mounted solar plant developers was the recently announced hybrid ‘firm’ PPA scheme, which encourages energy storage to be coupled with large-scale solar projects to generate a fixed output from each system. The ‘firm’ element of this hybrid PPA scheme is that it requires the power producers to deliver between 98% and 102% of the PPA capacity during peak periods and then limits power output at other times to 66.3% of the PPA capacity. Further, Projects must be between 10-50MW in size and the scheme comes with a feed-in tariff (FiT) for renewables of THB 3.66/kWh.
- In February 2018, The Asian Development Bank (ADB) announced its plan to provide a loan of USD 235 million to B. Grimm Power, a Thai energy firm, to develop renewable energy projects in Southeast Asia. The financing is planned to support numerous clean energy generation projects, including utility-scale solar along with wind, biomass, waste-to-energy amongst others.
- The country has been witnessing growth in ground-mounted solar power capacity addition in recent years, 2016 – 2018. For instance, in March 2018, a 30 MW of solar PPA agreement was signed by B.Grimm Power for seven separate solar PV projects in Thailand, these projects include five plants (23.58MW) co-developed with the War Veterans Organization of Thailand (WVO).
- Therefore with a number of utility-scale solar power projects under planning and construction stage the ground-mounted solar energy is expected to witness a significant growth in the coming years.
