Thailand is a net energy importer, chiey

because of oil, with imports worth 900 billion

baht a year, while energy demand is rising

by 4% annually.

For this reason, the government has to

implement the policy and measures to

promote the continuously increase of

alternative energy consumption comprising

of solar, wind, small hydro power, biomass,

biogas, MSW and biofuels (ethanol and

biodiesel) to replace fossil energy. Including

with, the policy on energy efciency to

improve energy efciency in all economic

sectors by decreasing of energy intensity.

In 2012 Thailands nal energy consumption

has increased 3.9% from the previous

year whereas nal alternative energy

consumption has grown 7.6% and energy

intensity has decreased 2.4%

As an agricultural country, Thailand is rich in agricultural wastes and products that can be yielded

for energy purposes such as biomass, biogas, biodiesel, ethanol, and the by-products from

processed food industry. Geographically situated in the equator, Thailand also has great potential

in solar with average radiation of 18.2 MJ/m2/day; and in some areas with wind speed potential.

Such abundant alternative energy sources certainly make Thailand the best potential on

alternative energy development and create opportunity to strengthen energy security in the future.

The Government of Thailand has currently assigned the Ministry of Energy to set up the 10 Year

Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) aiming to create the framework and direction for

increasing alternative energy consumption by 25% in 2021.

Energy efciency also has benets beyond responding to energy security and climate change,

because improving energy efciency enhances the overall productivity of the economy. Ministry

of Energy of Thailand is very committed to long term improvement of the Countrys energy

efciency and energy saving. Thailands Energy Efciency goal is to accomplish 25% improvement

on energy intensity by 2030 under Energy Efciency Master Plan.
