Thailand's new PDP targets 60% clean electricity by 2050—50% renewables plus 10% SMR. But manufacturers say data centers get priority under the current Utility Green Tariff while established industry waits.
Thailand is ASEAN's largest PCB base with THB 200B in investment since 2022, but renewables cover only 3% of power use. DPPA access is limited to data centers, leaving PCB makers reliant on rooftop solar and I-RECs.

The compilation of carbon taxes under different schemes enables companies to assess the carbon cost for operations in different countries.
Carbon labels show the carbon emissions generated by companies and products at the stages of raw materials, manufacturing, transport, distribution, usage, and disposal, as a consideration for consumers when making purchases, and to encourage companies to go low-carbon in their product development.
Carbon trading mechanisms are introduced by governments to encourage businesses to reduce their emissions and sell excess credits for revenue, thus achieving carbon neutrality.
Profit/non-profit renewable energy initiatives, such as RE100, aim to stimulate the use of renewable energy by businesses and communities.
Green energy labels are created to ensure a reliable source of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which come in various types depending on regional requirements.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) or Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) is a tracking tool acting as a proof of green power generation and consumption, with each certificate representing 1 MWh of green electricity.
