Thailand's new Power Development Plan (PDP, 2026-50) moves away from Egat as sole buyer and launches pilot direct PPAs, letting private producers sell renewable power straight to businesses, initially capped at 2 gigawatts. Small power producers with fossil plants may also sell surplus power to factories in industrial estates. A prosumer scheme for rooftop solar owners to sell surplus to the grid is being prepared. The article gives no start dates or prices, so for now this is a watch item: if you use heavy power or have rooftop solar, track the pilot rules and consider whether a direct green-power contract could cut costs later.
