Thailand’s Energy Sector in 2026
Thailand has come a long way from the discovery and domestic production of oil and natural gas. Today, LNG imports dominate its energy mix, with the country boasting the largest LNG import capacity in the region and planning to expand it further. However, experts warn this poses risks to Thailand's economy, environment, and net-zero goals.
2026 Thailand elections: Climate and Energy Take a Back Seat
Analysts don't expect the winning party to prioritise climate and the energy transition as standalone items in its political agenda, but instead consider them enablers for economic growth. Regardless of the approach, Thailand needs to phase out fossil fuels and accelerate renewables deployment to boost energy security, alleviate air pollution and ensure massive cost cuts.
How Thailand Can Transition from Gas Dependency Risks to Clean Energy Gains [Op-Ed]
Thailand’s growing dependence on imported Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bears the risk of becoming a costly vulnerability. Yet by redefining the role of gas and accelerating the shift to renewables, as well as incorporating flexibility and grid modernisation into its energy planning, Thailand can turn risk into resilience and build a cleaner, more competitive economy.
