To ensure a viable wind industry in Thailand there is in our opinion only one option and that is to accept a fixed FiT. The bidding process as proposed by ERC can at best only be applied in very mature and sophisticated markets. Maturity and sophistication are required from the developer, the EPC contractor and not least the government. Applying such bidding process in Thailand will in our opinion stop any further progress in the Thai wind market. Unsophisticated developers will price themselves out the market, because an unsophisticated government will choose the lowest price, and consequently the developer winning the bid will not be able to raise financing. Further, the EPC contractors will be very reluctant to support a bidding war as it will obviously not in their best interest. A bidding process will not contribute positively to the Thai economy. Currently 1800 MW have PPA with adder, but only 207MW have been built and are operating? And after how many years? The Thai wind market is not yet mature and sophisticated – there is only one option and that is to accept a fixed FiT. Capacity factor limitation has no purpose. It will prevent optimisation of the turbine selection and/or prevent optimal energy outputs. A capacity factor limitation will unnecessarily waste energy for the Thai economy. We will be supportive of a FiT of 6.06 THB/KWh. Arguments: • It is simple to understand and to manage and it is a far better alternative to the two other options as argued below. • It lowers cost of energy for wind in Thailand compared to current adder scheme and at the same time it is supportive of the industry developing further.
