Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), the state power distribution arm, has announced it was given a quota to produce 30% of total power capacity in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) until 2037 under the PEA's renewable power generation development plan.
The quota is in line with the government's policy to establish a carbon-free industrial zone.
PEA deputy governor Khemmarat Sartpreecha said yesterday the firm has been allowed to generate clean energy for EEC, a new high-tech industrial hub development project, from the end of last year at 0.8% of the capacity, with the rest based on fossil fuels.
