Bangkok, 24 May 2013, Deputy Prime Minister Plodprasob Surassawadee, in his capacity as the head of the Office of the National Water and Flood Management Policy (WFMP), has stated that the details of the construction of the planned biomass power plant will soon be outlined.
The comment came after Thursday’s meeting with National Health Committee Office of Thailand, in which the construction of the power plant, part of the Public Health Ministry’s national health policies, was one of the meeting’s agendas.
The agenda has been raised as the nation has been facing power shortage; the meeting has also agreed that the nation has the capacity to build more biomass power plants.
Mr. Plodprasob said that the detailed plan and feasibility study will be conducted in order to ensure the safety of residents who reside in the plant’s vicinity. He added the plans will dictate such features as how many types of material the plant will handle, or where it will be built.
Once the plans has been drafted, they will be submitted to the cabinet for consideration, said the Deputy Prime Minister , adding that the recent massive blackout in the south has nothing to do with the decision, as the agenda had existed long before the outage took place.
