In 2024, natural gas accounted for the highest power generation capacity in Thailand, with approximately 136,400 gigawatt-hours, followed by imported fuel. In that same period, there were around 235,000 gigawatt-hours of power generated in Thailand. Thailand is permeated with energy resources. For example, there are thirteen production sites for natural gas alone in the country. However, the production volume of natural gas in Thailand had been fluctuating, amounting to almost 26 billion cubic meters in 2023.
Energy production in Thailand
Apart from natural gas, crude oil and coal are also significant for energy production in Thailand. Sources of crude oil are found in the north and the central region of the country, as well as in the coastal areas of the country. Thailand’s production of oil peaked in 2016 and has slowly declined since then. The same also applied for coal; despite its coal resources, coal production volume had decreased annually. Currently, the Thai government has been encouraging increasing the production capacity of renewable energy such as hydropower and solar energy.
