Energy Situation
Although Thailand is 99% electrified, the primary source of energy is domestic and imported natural gas, creating the issue of energy security. Thus, energy diversification should be the prime goal to Thailand to ensure sustainable supply of energy in the country. As of 2012, 45% of primary energy comes from natural gas, 36% comes from oil, 16% comes from coal and 3% comes from hydro. [1] In 2016, 60% of its energy came from imports. [2]
