Zusammenfassung
  • As war in the Middle East sends oil prices soaring and disrupts global LNG supply, Thailand’s deep dependence on imported fossil fuels is no longer just a vulnerability—it’s a full-blown economic risk. From rising electricity costs to fuel shortages and slowing growth, the impacts are already being felt across households, businesses, and entire industries. But this crisis is more than a warning. It’s an opportunity. This policy brief argues that accelerating renewable energy is not just about climate ambition—it’s Thailand’s strongest defense against future shocks. With solar now cheaper than gas, and global investment in clean energy at record highs, the question is no longer if Thailand should transition, but how fast—and how fairly. Can Thailand turn crisis into catalyst? Discover why a just energy transition is now the country’s most urgent economic strategy—and what must happen next.
