Thailand's energy costs shifting: What's next?

Details

JustPow is hosting a crucial event addressing Thailand's evolving energy landscape. At this event, the groundbreaking new report, "Thailand: A Techno-economic Analysis of Power Generation," by BloombergNEF (BNEF), will be unveiled.

The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current and future costs of Thailand's energy mix -- encompassing gas, solar, wind, hydrogen, CCUS and small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) -- within the critical context of achieving net-zero emissions.
Are rising electricity bills an unavoidable reality? This crucial report exposes the potential financial pitfalls of Thailand's increasing reliance on gas and LNG imports. However, it also illuminates a promising path forward: the compelling economic viability of clean renewable energy with solar power and battery storage poised to become more cost-effective than new fossil fuel plants within the next few years. The report further challenges the economic and environmental effectiveness of costly retrofitting options like hydrogen and CCS in the pursuit of Net Zero.
Following the report's presentation, JustPow invites you to an insightful panel discussion: "Thailand's Energy Costs Shifting: What's Next?" Experts will delve into the report's findings and explore the critical choices Thailand must make to secure a sustainable and affordable energy future.
