The Thai government plans to take the lead in replacing about three million light bulbs in government agency offices within a six year time frame, reported the country’s National News Bureau.

According to Energy Minister Narongchai Akaraserani, around 10% of government buildings nationwide have already installed LED light bulbs in their offices.

He added that around 450,000 regular light bulbs will be replaced this year. The Ministry of Energy will spend 2 billion baht (US $59 million) on replacing the remaining 3 million regular light bulbs with LED over the next 5 -6 years.

The Ministry will also encourage private organizations to follow suit, enticing them with financial support from the Ministry in the beginning.
