The state waste-to-energy (WTE) scheme is expected to lead to heated competition among SET-listed companies interested in joining a new auction round next year.
The interested firms include Super Energy Corporation, TPI Polene Power Plc, TPC Power Holding Plc and Absolute Clean Energy Plc.
Authorities are organising an auction for WTE projects with a combined capacity of 500 megawatts.
The authorities are expected to call for new bidding next year as the 2018 national power development plan (first revision) states additional capacity of 400MW will be generated under the second phase of the WTE scheme between 2021 and 2037.
Super Energy Corporation announced it plans to participate in the auction of WTE projects nationwide, according to Jormsup Lochaya, chief executive and vice-chairman of the Super Energy board.

Thailand is the world leader in turning waste to energy.
At least that s what Absolute Clean Energy (ACE) claims, while boasting it is the first company in the world to navigate the challenges of biomass power generation by using a variety of agricultural refuse as fuel.
This differentiates the company from other waste-to-energy (WTE) operators in Europe and the US that mostly depend on single crops and must stop operations in seasons when raw materials are unavailable.
BANGKOK, Feb 7 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): To see the disastrous impact of Covid-19 on Thailand’s tourism industry, look no further than Krabi.
Tourist arrivals in the southern holiday province plummeted from an average of 6 million per year to just 1.5 million in 2020. Meanwhile tourism revenue fell from around Bt120 billion to only Bt29 billion.
Towards the end of last year it seemed the worst was over, but then came another calamity.
“There was hope when we saw some tourists return to Krabi after the first outbreak of Covid-19 in Thailand. But my businesses have suffered again from this second outbreak,” local restaurant owner Amarit Siripornjutagun told The Nation last week.
