General description of project activity A.1. Title of the project activity: Title: Solar Power Company 94 MW Solar PV Project Version: 01 Date: 09 January 2011 A.2. Description of the project activity: The Thailand national electricity grid provides electricity to households across Thailand. Over 90% of electricity consumed in Thailand’s grid is supplied by fossil fuel fired power plants which emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Solar Power Company Limited intends to construct solar photovoltaic (PV) plants to supply clean renewable electricity to the Thailand grid. The proposed sites of the Solar Power Company PV plants are located in the Provinces of Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), Sakon Nakhon, Nakon Phanom, Loei and Khon Kaen in North Eastern Thailand. The project is expected to yield an electricity production of approximately 142,944 MWhe (in the first year of crediting) from 97.98 MW DC of PV capacity at sixteen sites. Electricity produced by the project activity would otherwise have involved the release of CO2 from the combustion of fossil fuels in the power plants connected to the Thailand national grid. The project activity will contribute to the sustainable development of Thailand by producing clean renewable electricity for use in the Thailand grid. The project will create jobs associated with site construction of the PV plants and site facilities. The project will be an example of technology transfer because it will utilise imported solar pholtovoltaic units from a Japanese PV supplier. The project is committed to engagement with all local stakeholders and as such a local stakeholder consultation meeting was organised to enable stakeholders concerns to be addressed. A.3.

Category(ies) of project activity: Sectoral Scope 01: Energy industries (renewable) A.4.3. Technology to be employed by the project activity: The Solar Power Company PV power project will produce renewable electricity for the Thailand national grid. Renewable electricity will be generated by PV cells imported to Thailand and installed in provinces of Sakon Phanom, Nakon Phanom, Nakhon Ratchasima, Loei and Khon Kaen. Environmentally safe and sound technology and know-how will be transferred to the Host Party because the project utilises high efficiency multicrystalline photovoltaic modules from Germany. The project will install a total of 466,560 KD210GH-2PU poly-crystalline modules with a power rating of 210 Wp DC across 16 sites. Each site will use 29,160 KD210GH-2PU poly-crystalline modules and the total output capacity of the inverters connected to the grid will be 5.94 MW at each site. The total installed capacity of photovoltaic modules at the 16 sites will be 97.98 MW DC and the total output capacity of the inverters connected to the grid will be 95.04 MW AC. Each project will be connected to the 22kV grid located adjacent to the project site. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03 CDM – Executive Board page 6 Prior to the project activity there was no equipment for generating electricity at the project sites and the Thailand grid was comprised of a mixture of generation units which included fossil fuel fired power units. In the absence of the project activity, the Thailand grid would receive electricity from the existing grid- connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources. The baseline scenario is the same as the scenario described above which existed prior to implementation of the project activity. The production of electricity in this way creates CO2 through the combustion of fossil fuels as reflected in the combined margin (CM) calculations described in the “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system”. The CO2 emissions from these baseline power plants is the only baseline emission source identified in section B.3 of the PDD. According to data published by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation (TGO), the Thailand grid produces 0.5980 tCO2e per MWh of electricity produced1. The power plants will be constructed on land which was previously agricultural holdings. The project plans to install PV units from Kyocera capable of supplying 94.08 MW AC of electricity to the grid. The design life of the PV cells is 25 years2. An energy yield estimate forecasts a total electricity production of 142,944 MWh in the first year of operation. The quantity of net electricity generation that is produced and fed into the grid as a result of the implementation of the CDM project activity will be monitored with electricity meters located at the point of connection to the grid. The electricity meters will be installed and operated in accordance with the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA). The meter accuracy and calibration frequency will be in accordance with the specifications of the local/national standards, or as per the manufacturer specification. More details of the metering equipment are provided in section B.7. In accordance with section B.3 of the PDD, there are no project emissions associates with the project activity. A.4.4.

  • Study Report on Situation of Home-Based Workers' Groups In
    Study Report on Situation of Home-based Workers’ Groups in Urban Areas and Target Groups under the Inclusive Urban Planning Project Submitted to Homenet South Asia Compiled by Foundation for Labour and Employment Promotion October 2010 Study Report on Home-based Workers’ Groups in Urban Areas October 2010 1 1. Background Home-based workers (HBWs)1 are generally poor, receiving low wages or income and working long hours, thus earning inadequate income to support their household expenses. These workers live in slum communities2 scattered in urban or suburban areas. As a result, it is difficult for them to organize. Their presence is virtually non-existent, not known or socially recognized, and not economically valued as a group of workers that contribute to the urban and national economy. Thus these HBWs have no participatory role in their local or community development planning. The Inclusive Urban Planning (IUP) Project is developed to build up and strengthen the capacity of HBW’s groups by supporting their organization in the form of membership- based organizations (MBOs)3. MBOs will act as representatives of the HBWs in presenting their problems and needs to government agencies so that these workers will be given a chance to participate in the urban planning process, which is suitable for their needs. This five-year Project (2009-2013) is carried out by Homenet Thailand and its collaborating non-governmental organizations. Homenet Thailand (HNT) was established in 1992 and registered as the Foundation for Labor and Employment Promotion in 2003. The Project’s major operation areas are Bangkok, Chiang Rai and Khon Kaen provinces.

  • Success Factors in Community-Based Tourism in Thailand: the Role of Luck, External Support, and Local Leadership
    Tourism Planning & Development, Volume 11, Issue 1, February 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/21568316.2013.852991 Success Factors in Community-Based Tourism in Thailand: The Role of Luck, External Support, and Local Leadership NICK KONTOGEORGOPOULOS*, ANUWAT CHURYEN** AND VARAPHORN DUANGSAENG** *International Political Economy Program, University of Puget Sound, 1500 North Warner, Tacoma, WA 98416, USA and **School of Tourism Development, Maejo University, 63 Moo 4, Chiang Mai - Phrao Road, Sansai, Chiang Mai 50290, Thailand ABSTRACT The dominant narrative regarding tourism in Thailand centers on the various negative social and environmental consequences of rapid growth, but in the midst of this explosive expansion of conventional tourism, a less recognized story has recently emerged. Due to the efforts of researchers, environmental activists, non-governmental organizations, and public officials, community-based tourism (CBT) has become in the past decade an important component of the domestic tourism market, and signifies trends that are more encouraging than those associated with more conventional forms of tourism in Thailand. While it is true that some rural communities in Thailand struggle to plan, initiate, and sustain CBT projects, it is nevertheless possible, with the right combination of circumstances, to pursue successful CBT. The paper explores the emergence of CBT in Thailand, and examines the case study of Mae Kampong, a village in the Northern Thai province of Chiang Mai that is renowned nationally as a showcase CBT community. Using data and observations gathered during more than 30 research or study-tour visits to Mae Kampong, this paper argues that fortunate geographical conditions, external support, and transformational leadership represent the most important determinants of success for CBT in Thailand.

  • Excavations at Ban Tamyae and Non Ban Kham, Phimai Region, Northeast Thailand
    Excavations at Ban Tamyae and Non Ban Kham, Phimai Region, Northeast Thailand Received October 1986, revised July 1989 DA VID J. WELCH AND J. R. MCNEILL INTRODUCTION DURING 1979 AND 1980 the Khorat Basin Archaeological Project (KBAP)-a co­ operative project involving researchers from the University of Hawaii, the Fine Arts Department of Thailand, and Chulalongkorn University-conducted survey and excavation of sites in the vicinity of the town of Phimai in northeast Thailand. Phimai formerly served as a regional Khmer sacred, administrative, and commerical center from about A.D. 1000 to 1300. Archaeological and historical evidence indi­ cated that Phimai might have been an important center before its integration into the Khmer state. The approach taken in the research was regional, investigating the development of Phimai as a major center by focusing upon the towns that formed alternative or minor centers and upon the villages and farms that constituted the hinterland for Phimai and supported its development. The primary focus of the investigations was on the fortified or moated sites, sites surrounded with earth walls and moats, first identified on aerial photographs by Peter Williams-Hunt (1950). The goals of the research included the location, mapping, and dating of the moated sites in the Phimai region and determination of the function, date of construction, and present condition of the earthworks at these sites. Two hypotheses were pro­ posed for testing: (1) the concentration of population into these moated sites was associated with the practice of intensive wet rice agriculture, and (2) these sites were centers for long-distance exchange.
