Thailand’s Energy Situation
Final Energy Consumption by Fuel Type
Note :
1 Renewable energy consists of solar energy, rice husk, bagasse, agricultural waste and biogas.
2 Traditional renewable energy consists of charcoal, rice husk, agricultural waste. Used in residential homes and household industries.

Thailand’s Energy Efficiency Situation
Energy Intensity, 2010 - 2021
Thailand, 2021 - Final Energy Consumption 71,998 ktoe
- Gross Domestic Product : GDP 10,403,700 million baht
- Energy Intensity : EI 6.92
Energy Efficiency Plan
EEP 2018
- Saving target for the year 2037 is 49,064 ktoe
- Reduce energy intensity (Energy Intensity, EI) down 30 percent by 2037
EEP 2022 (In Progress)
- Saving target for the year 2037 is 35,497 ktoe., reducing EI down 36 percent by 2037
- The goal of saving in the year 2050 is 64,340 ktoe., reducing EI by 40 percent by 2050
- Carbon neutral goal of the country's energy sector in 2050 (95.5 million tons of carbon)
