Thailand next year will expand the scope of the national LED energy-saving lamp test

In order to improve the capacity of electric power, electricity saving and environmental protection, Thailand will improve the power generation capacity and promote the popularization of energy-saving lamps LED two pronged approach to practical results.

Suta, director of Thailand's State Electricity Bureau, said that in the national energy supply development plan, 70% of electricity generated from natural gas. In order to avoid the depletion of natural gas resources, the state power supply is passive, and the proportion of coal power generation needs to be increased. To this end, the State Electricity Bureau has developed a 2013 to 40% power plant and power system development plan for the past 5 years, with a total budget of $300 billion, of which 60% of the investment in power plants, and the other for the power system investment. 7 of the 4 thermal power plants and a total of 1 units of the hydro power plant in the transformation and expansion of the 2, will significantly reduce coal consumption and costs and increase the power generation.

At the same time, Thailand Electric Power Bureau after repeated tests, the next two years will be in the country to expand the scope of the test LED energy-saving lamps, for an early promotion of unified use of LED energy-saving lamps.
