‘Ministry of Energy’ emphasizes Thai energy policy towards clean, sustainable energy.

Chamnan Kaiprasit, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency Ministry of Energy Speaking at the event A Call to ActionGo Green 2024: The Ambition of Thailand In the topic of special lecture: Green Energy Strategy Green Energy Strategy Organized by Bangkok Thurakit that the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Energy Efficiency Responsible for promoting energy efficiency. Supervise energy conservation Provide energy source Develop mixed energy use options and systematically disseminate energy technology continuously to adequately meet the needs of all sectors at a cost that is conducive to national development. and having a good quality of life for the people

By operating in the field of energy conservation Energy efficiency value in 2023 = 7.64 Target energy use (EI) reduced by 30% in 2037 compared to the base year 2010 by quarter 1-4 of 2023 final energy use 83,068 Thousand tons of crude oil equivalent and gross domestic product of 10,877,194 million baht, including energy use intensity of 7.64 thousand trees equivalent to crude oil per billion baht.

whichDirection of Thai energy policy That is, adhering to the principles of the National Energy Plan.

1. Create benefits for the people

2. Increase the competitiveness of the country

3. Drive Thai energy in line with the world energy direction.

Also increase power ratio new electricity generation From renewable energy not less than 50% and considered together with an energy storage system. Use the EV 30@30 policy to change usage. Transportation energy It is green electrical energy. through electric vehicle technology

and improve efficiency of use More than 30 % energy

in addition On the electrical side, there have been changes. As follows:

1. Increase the proportion of electricity produced from new power plants with renewable energy.

2. Reduce the proportion of energy production. Electricity from fossil fuels has high greenhouse gas emissions.

3.Develop CCUS technology

4. Develop modern electrical system infrastructure (Grid Modernization)

5. Produce energy and Infrastructure Decentralized and flexible

6. Change the pattern of energy use to electrical energy from low-carbon technology and innovation.

The goal of promoting electricity from renewable energy in 2037 is to increase electricity production capacity from RE 3 times compared to 2023 and increase 1.6 times compared to AEDP 2018, using 48% renewable energy, 52% fossil fuels, totaling 292,818 GWh

Problems and obstacles in promoting electrical energy from RE

1. Energy security To increase the proportion of electricity production from renewable energy where there is uncertainty in production, resulting in

Affecting the stability of the electrical system. How to solve the problem? Restructuring the energy industry according to the 4D1E guidelines

2. Ability to pay With the cost of producing electricity from many types of renewable energy still higher fossil fuels The solution is to develop financial mechanisms/tools and provide funding sources. To stimulate Invest in green energy

3. Policies and regulations with policy limitations and Laws/Regulations To promote green energy by improving regulations to support the energy transition.

4. Skills and Abilities Depends on the knowledge of personnel Renewable energy It is not enough, there must be Raise awareness Raise the level of knowledge and strengthen the capabilities of energy personnel.Create work motivation for energy personnel to stimulate learning. and ready to support the transition
