Introduction
ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) is an intergovernmental organization established by
Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand
and Vietnam. It is guided by Governing Council composed of the Senior Officials on energy
of the ASEAN countries and a representative from the ASEAN Secretariat. Core funding is
provided by an Energy Endowment Fund established from equal contributions of the ten
member countries and managed by a private fund manager.

Title of Activity/Project/Theme
Nature of Business
Roum-Jai-Tam-Roy-Pho Network Community Enterprise was established by a group of
villagers in Pa-Deng Sub-district who interested in “Sufficiency Economy”, a philosophy
conceived and developed by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand and tried to
follow him. The main objective of organization is solving living problems of community
including lacks of energy. It has been established to be a “Self-sufficient Economic and
Alternative Energy Learning Center and opens for renewable energy training courses.
Project Abstract
Power generation from renewable energy for utilization in “Pa-Deng Self-sufficient
Economic and Alternative Energy Learning Center” and community members’ household
10 villages in Pa-Deng Sub-district located in the different area. Several villages were in the
Royal Initiated Project area, thus, principle occupation was dairy cattle livestock, while 5
villages (Moo 1, 2, 6, 8 and 10) were located in the Kaeng Krachan National Park which had
the area’s restriction, so there is no any facility such as electricity, tap water and
communication networks. Consequently, the villagers has collaborated together and
established a community enterprise named “Roum-Jai-Tam-Roy-Pho Network” that proposes
to develop the life quality of villagers, as well as strengthens the community participation by
referring to the Self-sufficient Economic Theory of the King Bhumibhol Adulyadej. In order
to conduct the activity of community, the villagers are led by village’s chief and sub-district
administration organization, with the well supporting from the government and private
organizations.
Energy-related activities of organization mainly aim to fulfil the community’s requirement.
Besides alternative power generation used for household and organization’s business, there
are various renewable energy promotion activities, for examples, biomass cooking stove
production, biodiesel production from used cooking oil, water pumping for agriculture and
irrigation, high efficiency charcoal kiln, etc., including conduct for the renewable energy
technology and energy conservation knowledges to members and villagers. Hence, all of
activities result in efficient energy consumption.
At 2015, the enterprise has been established to be a “Self-sufficient Economic and Alternative
Energy Learning Center by Energy Policy and Planning Office, Ministry of Energy and opens
for renewable energy training courses such as (1) Community scale energy planning (2) Biogas
system installation (3) Biomass gasification installation and operation, (4) Community Solar Cell
installation for agriculture and lighting, etc.
By successful in many activities, Roum-Jai-Tam-Roy-Pho Network (Community Enterprise)
has obtained many awards and certifications from various government departments, such as
Global Environment Facility (GEF/SGP) UNDP, Petchaburi Provincial Energy Office,
Rajabhat university, Office of the Royal Development Project Board, provincial energy,
office of agriculture and a cooperative provincial, Ministry of Energy, etc. Moreover, the Thai
Greenhouse Gas Organization (TGO) has certified that Biogas Digesters of Pa-Deng
community can reduce greenhouse gas emission by 57 ton-CO2 equivalent since year 2010
until present.

B. ENVIRONMENT CONSIDERATION
Remark: The Thai Greenhouse Gas Organization (TGO) has certified that only Biogas Digesters of
Pa-Deng community can reduce GHG emission by 57 ton-CO2 equivalent (year 2010- 2016).
B.2 Discussion (Simple calculation of conversion)
By replacing diesel generators with renewable electricity generation systems,
Pa-Deng community can reduce diesel consumption
= 18,421 liters/year or 111,710 litres* over the lifetime of project.
which equivalent to carbon emission
= 18,421 x 2.7080
= 49,884 kg CO2/year or 302,510.68 kg CO2 over the lifetime of project.
*see more detail in D.8 Amount of Fossil Energy Avoided
**GHG emission factor for diesel combustion is 2.7080 kg CO2/litre

For community members’ households and others communities, the power generation systems
were designed by demand and availability of fuel providing, thus there are various types of
power generation systems such as hybrid power generation from solar and biogas, individual
power generation from solar or biogas.
(See Fig 1-7 in heading G. for sample projects of the enterprise’s members in Pa-Deng Community)

Households and business could produce biogas by own self and use substitute for
LPG, by-product from biogas generation systems also used as soil conditioners in
farming
The solar PV systems were not used only for lighting, but also used for water pumping
E.5 Local Service Content
All members and users can operate and maintenance the installed system by
themselves, also can resolve preliminary problems.
The system components are from local distributors, which have their own service
centers and are readily to solve the problems on site.
Monthly maintenance and consultant service is provided by Roum-Jai-Tam-Roy-Pho
Network Community Enterprise which located in the same district.
E.6 ISO for Environment and Quality
Biogas project in Pa-Deng community has been certified in Low Emission Support Scheme:
LESS project of the Thai Greenhouse Gas Organization (TGO) that can reduce greenhouse
gas emission by 57 ton-CO2 equivalent since year 2010-2016.

F.4 Others
Create Networks for Expansion
Since 2010-present, Roum-Jai-Tam-Roy-Pho Network Community Enterprise has continuously
shared renewable energy knowledges to other communities in Petchaburi and other provinces
in Thailand—and plans to continue at least 50 communities within 2 years (within 2019).
Not just to hand out technology to users, but to teach them how to use it, modify it, and adapt
it precisely to their needs. Rather than being ‘off grid’, the Community Enterprise is building
its own grid. Instead of being connected by powerlines and utility meters, it is instead
connected by knowledge and technical and social collaboration.
