Bangkok has launched the “Bangkok Solar City” initiative to promote solar energy use and move the capital toward a low-carbon future. The program encourages residents and businesses to install solar rooftops, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and helping the city cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The initiative aligns with Bangkok’s Net Zero policy and the Bangkok Master Plan 2021–2030, both aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable energy use. To make adoption easier, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration has released a guidebook and online resources offering step-by-step support for solar panel installation and consultation.
This effort is part of a broader Thai-German partnership under the Thailand-Germany Cooperation on Energy, Mobility, and Climate, supported by GIZ. The collaboration applies “sector coupling” — linking energy, transport, and industry — to accelerate clean energy transitions.
With abundant sunlight and strong cooperation, the Bangkok Solar City initiative marks a significant stride toward building a greener, more sustainable, and resilient future for Thailand’s capital.
