Issues & potential Solution
1. For the cross border-PoA which the initial CPA is not located in Thailand, the information in PoA-DD and initial CPA DD located in other host country is not sufficient to evaluate the environmental impact and sustainability of PoA in Thailand.
- It may be required to submit the Environmental and Sustainable Development Framework of the PoA and/or have the initial CPA in the host country .
2. In the case of PoA covering with many technologies but submitting only one technology for the initial CPA (for example, PoA is the renewable energy program consisting with solar power, hydro power, biomass power , biogas power etc. , and C/ME submits the solar power as the first CPA. It is very difficult to evaluate the environmental impact and sustainability of the PoA and first CPA.
- To ensure sustainability of the PoA and give DNA more confidence to issue LoA, Thai DNA determines that C/ME must propose the E&SD Framework of every technologies for consideration.
- To facilitate the approval process, Thai DNA is now in the process to develop the examples of E&SD Framework for the biogas, biomass , solar power, hydro power projects.

Issues & potential Solution
3. The revocation of the C/ME in case the C/ME makes up the information or discontinues the PoA.
- Thai DNA keeps the right to revoke the permission of C/ME or change the C/ME for that registered PoA, respectively.
