New rules will open the door for detached houses, warehouses, factories and offices to sell their leftover solar power. The government will end the decade-long restriction on households and commercial buildings selling power generated by their solar rooftops to state utilities in the fourth quarter of the year. At present, private actors are allowed to sell power to Egat through auctions under the small power producer (SPP) or very small power producer (VSPP) project. The ERI found that the deregulation of solar rooftops and letting people generate their own power would create minimal revenue losses for state utilities. Thailand has 2,990 megawatts of solar power installed.
