Bangkok Post file photoTwo key renewable energy projects pushed by the caretaker government of Anutin Charnvirakul need to be delayed until a new government is formed, says energy permanent secretary Veerapat Kiatfuengfoo. The solar-powered water pump project is among the projects under Mr Anutin's 'Quick Big Win' policy, which emphasises immediate, impactful and inclusive projects. Another project which will face a further delay is the direct PPA scheme, aimed at facilitating clean power trade by enabling businesses to buy renewable power directly from power companies. The government previously invited foreign companies specialising in data centre development to invest in Thailand, but they sought clarity regarding the direct PPA policy.
