This qualitative study aims to assess the implementation of alternative energy in Thailand’s Central and Eastern Regions (TCERs). Thus,
a CIPP-I (Context Input Process Product-Impact) Model was applied
to establish the guidelines in local alternative energy management. Indepth interviews were carried out with the regional administration of
the Ministry of Energy. Questionnaires were used to collected data from
the local people. Results of this study revealed that the implementation
of local energy management of communities in TCERs was at a moderate level. However, there was no continuation in the implementation
in some communities due to lack of relevant support. This study has
proposed guidelines in local alternative energy management for these
regions.
