Feed-in tariffs and south-south policy/technology transfer: The evolution and implementation of Very
Small Power Producer (VSPP/SPP) Regulations in Thailand and Tanzania
Monterey Institute for International StudiesMonterey, California, USA
– To ensure that the transformations that occur in the region's energy sector: augment, rather than undermine, social and environmental justice and sustainability.
• Key approaches:– We teach hands-on energy technology– We draft / comment on policies– We work to empower citizens to look critically at government
and industry projects and plans– We advocate structural reform

Generation capacity in excess of demand (2007-2009)
Fictional power demand did lead to real investments that become waste & burden
(not to mention disturbed ecology, communities)
Excess gas/ pipeline capacity/
generation capacity
economic waste + excess burden for
consumers
Under centralized monopoly structure

Concluding thoughts• VSPP regulations enable small generators together to
profitably make substantial contributions to electricity generation.
• Zero / small carbon footprint• Useful for decreasing diesel expenditures for rural
electrification• VSPP projects help develop local engineering / project
development capacity.• South-South policy/technology exchange• English versions of regulations available online• Still a drop in the bucket in Thailand… IRP needed
