MEA Launches Second Phase of Energy Plus Program to Support SMEs
The Metropolitan Electricity Authority has introduced the second phase of its 'MEA Energy Plus' initiative, offering financial support of up to 30% for SMEs to improve energy efficiency.
On October 28, 2026, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) officially launched the second phase of its 'MEA Energy Plus' project at the Asawin Grand Convention Hotel in Bangkok. Presided over by MEA Deputy Governor Chukiat Yangyuenbangchan, the initiative aims to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) reduce operational costs and enhance energy efficiency. According to Khaosod Online, the program is a collaboration between the MEA and King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT). It provides participating businesses in Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Samut Prakan with access to expert knowledge and financial subsidies covering up to 30% of the costs for upgrading to high-efficiency equipment. For residents and business owners in these regions, this program represents a significant opportunity to lower utility expenses and modernize infrastructure. The MEA emphasizes that the project addresses common barriers such as limited investment capital and technical expertise. While the launch event has taken place, specific application deadlines and the full list of eligible equipment categories remain to be confirmed by the MEA. Interested parties are encouraged to monitor official MEA channels for further details on how to participate in this energy-saving initiative.
