The Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO) is preparing Thailand's Power Development Plan (PDP) for 2026-2050, aligning with net-zero emissions by 2050. The plan targets over 50% clean energy generation, primarily from solar and wind.

It implements the Loss of Load Expectation standard to ensure reliability, while assessing small modular reactors and carbon capture technologies. Economic projections suggest a 2.5-2.6% GDP growth. The plan necessitates substantial upfront investment and policy advancements to achieve a cost-effective, inclusive power sector.
