LDP drafts proposal to end aid for mega solar projects

Nation Thailand · last updated December 15, 2025 – 4:37 PM

Instead of large-scale solar plants, the draft proposal calls for prioritising support for solar panel installations that can coexist with local communities, such as rooftop installations, as well as next-generation solar cells, including thin, flexible perovskite solar cells.

The draft proposal also seeks to expand the scope of mandatory environmental impact assessments before projects begin.
