Section 10: SUMMARY OF EXPECTED BENEFITS

 

When the implementation of all three major programs and 12 main projects are completed as planned, with the total ENCON Fund assistance of 29,110.61 million baht as detailed in Section 8 and Section 9, the expected benefits in relation to energy conservation will be as follows:

	COMPULSORY	VOLUNTARY	COMPLEMENTARY	TOTAL
1. Budget allocated from the Fund (M. baht)	17,021.30	6,422.00	5,667.31	29,110.61
2. Energy Conservation Potential *			***

Money saved throughout project life** (M. baht)	20,535	3,834		24,369
Total Energy Conservation Potential
Money saved (M. baht/year)	7,719	5,151		12,870
Money saved throughout project life** (M. baht) and Power demand reduced	115,785	43,780		159,565
Investment capital (M. baht)	36,780	1,305		38,085

Note:
* Based on the power distribution cost at 2.5 baht/kWh, which is the average tariff set by the Economic Policy Division of EGAT for consumers under the Small and Medium-Sized General Service category. According to the Conversion Factor of the DEDP (1997), 1 TOE will be able to produce 11,737 kWh of electricity.
** Project life is in a range of 5 years, 15 years and 25 years.
*** For the Complementary Program, the energy conservation potential cannot be valued in terms of money.

In implementing the work plans under the ENCON Program, it is important to keep in mind that the ultimate objective of the Program is energy conservation. Therefore, there must be periodic follow-ups, taking into account the costs to be incurred and the economic conditions of the country. The ENCON Program should, therefore, be flexible. That is, when it is found that any implementation does not require assistance from the ENCON Fund, or that any approach being used does not correspond with the current situation, or when any project must be urgently expedited, the responsible agency of such a program/project can raise the matter to the ENCON Fund Committee, via the respective Sub-Committee, for consideration on the plan adjustment. This to ensure that the expenditures of the ENCON Fund allocations will be most effective and worthwhile with the ultimate objective of achieving maximum energy conservation efficiency.
