Krabi EIA on hold for clean tech study
The tripartite panel considering the fate of the coal-fired power plant proposed for Krabi must reach a conclusion before the project’s environment and health impact assessment is considered, says the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (Onep).
Raweewan Bhuridej, Onep’s acting secretary-general, yesterday confirmed the office will suspend considering the EHIA until the panel has done its work.
The committee brings together the Energy Ministry, Krabi business sector, and civic groups, and comes after locals staged a huge protest outside Government House.
