PEA Reports 42,666 Solar Program Applications Amid Internal Investigation in Chiang Mai

The Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) announced that it has received 42,666 applications for its residential solar power program since the registration period opened on October 27, 2026. This initiative aims to expand renewable energy access for households across the country. Alongside the registration update, the PEA addressed concerns regarding unauthorized documents circulating in the Chiang Mai area. According to the authority, these documents, which originated from the PEA Area 1 office in Chiang Mai, were internal drafts that had not received official approval. In response to the incident, the PEA has ordered the immediate cancellation of these documents and has established a committee to conduct a formal investigation into the matter. For residents and property owners interested in solar energy, this development highlights the importance of verifying program information through official PEA channels. While the registration process continues nationwide, the investigation serves as a reminder to remain cautious of unofficial documentation. Further details regarding the findings of the investigation and any potential impacts on local applicants in Chiang Mai remain to be confirmed by the authorities.
