The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) plans to renegotiate Adder and FiT solar power purchase contracts for SPP and VSPP producers, which in some cases pay up to 11 baht per unit against a current cost of 2.1579 baht. It will propose a 2.1579 baht/unit solar rate (wind 2.9015) to the national energy policy committee, with contract terms of 20-25 years. Contracts not yet signed may be cancelled or renegotiated; contracts signed but not yet connected (COD) face renegotiation or cancellation if they miss their deadlines. The regulator estimates consumers are overpaying about 13-17 satang per unit. This is still a proposal pending cabinet-level approval, so the impact is for planning, not immediate billing changes. Businesses with solar projects in the Adder/FiT pipeline should check their contract status and COD deadlines.
