Thailand's MEA Outlines 6 Steps for Public Solar Power Sales in 2026

The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) of Thailand has announced a six-step process for the sale of electricity generated from public participation in solar power generation, set to commence on July 4, 2026. This initiative aims to expand opportunities for general households and small businesses to sell their surplus electricity generated from solar power to the MEA. Applications will be processed through the dedicated digital platform 'MyEnergy' provided by the MEA, which is expected to enhance the transparency and efficiency of the procedures. The six specific steps are anticipated to include preparation of application documents, registration on the platform, submission of the application, review by the MEA, contract signing, and the commencement of electricity sales. This scheme is part of the Thai government's broader policy to expand renewable energy adoption, particularly by encouraging individual participation to build a decentralized energy system. It is expected to contribute to stabilizing power supply, reducing the economic burden on households, and further mitigating environmental impact. The MEA anticipates that this new electricity sales system will act as a catalyst in accelerating Thailand's transition to clean energy. While encouraging active participation from the public, the authority plans to release further details of the system progressively.
