Energy authorities expect to launch a new national power development plan (PDP) in an effort to better promote and support greater use of renewable energy.
The new PDP is meant to span 2023 to 2037, replacing the current one that took effect in 2018 and went through many revisions to align with changes in energy policy.
Efforts to introduce the new PDP were earlier delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic, a surge in global energy prices and Thailand’s new commitment to cutting carbon dioxide emissions.
The government announced in 2021 Thailand will take more serious action to achieve carbon neutrality, a balance between carbon dioxide emissions and absorption, by 2050.
The policy means the country needs to redesign its energy management to be less dependent on fossil fuels.
