Thailand’s new government has unveiled an ambitious energy agenda focused on three key priorities — reducing household energy costs, strengthening energy security, and accelerating the energy transition.
The plan is expected to generate investment opportunities worth up to 700 billion baht (about USD 21.5 billion) in renewable and decarbonization projects such as solar power and carbon capture, while moving up the national net-zero emissions target to 2050 as part of a broader economic stimulus strategy.
