Thailand's Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO) is developing the Power Development Plan (PDP 2026) for 2026-2050, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The plan targets over 50% renewable energy generation, with a focus on solar and wind.

It adopts the Loss of Load Expectation standard to limit unserved energy to 0.7 days annually. The PDP also evaluates small modular reactors and carbon capture technologies. Economic growth is projected at 2.5-2.6% annually. Significant investment and policy reforms are essential for a resilient and cost-competitive power sector.
