Thailand s s Energy Master Plan 31
Ministry of Energy s Strategic Plan 1. Provide an adequate supply of energy 3. Regulate energy business and prices 2. Reinforce energy security and generate value added from energy sector 4. Sustainable Energy Development and being environmental friendly
Purp Strat ose egy Ministry of Energy: Strategies 1. Provide an adequate supply of energy Thailand has sufficient supply of energy to economic growth, better quality of life of people. Expedite supply of petroleum resource such as the opening round of new petroleum concession. Acquisition and development of energy resources and cooperation with neighbouring countries Promote energy project to be in line with Thailand s Energy Development Plan which consists of Power Development Plan, Alternative Energy Development Plan and Energy Efficiency Plan. Development of process to public participation for sustainable energy. 33
Ministry of Energy: Strategies 2. Reinforce energy security and generate value added from energy sector Purp ose Thailand has infrastructure and management system which enhance energy security Thailand has Energy New Growth Industry Strat egy Promote investment in energy infrastructure and energy development potential in all areas of the country such as LNG Receiving Terminal, oil and gas pipeline, electric transmission lines and smart grid Diversify of fuels and energy sources Development of emergency preparedness systems for energy crisis Promote New Growth Industry in order to be Bio-energy Hub such 34
Ministry of Energy: Strategies Purp ose 3. Regulate energy business and prices Production, transmission and transportation of energy are safe and environmentally-friendly People can access energy with fair price which reflect actual cost Strat egy Set measures to regulate and monitor the quality and safety level of energy industry Adjust the role of the Oil Fund Revise the energy price structure 35
Ministry of Energy: Strategies Purp ose Strat egy 4. Sustainable Energy Development and being environmental friendly The usage of energy efficient in the country The replacement of the fossil fuel by renewable energy is increased Push on the development of mechanisms, regulatory, standards Campaign to create a culture of energy conservation and educate people at all levels through a participation network Promote and support research, development and demonstration of new types of clean and renewable energy technologies Campaign and set up a network to realize the awareness of both the production and use of renewable energy from the community level 36
Power Development Plan 2015 Strategies Energy Security Fuel Mix Consider Sustainability : Local Power Plant, Resources Cost Effectiveness : Public and Industrial Acceptance Fuel Diversification Environmental impact In comply with Alternative Energy Development Plan And Energy Efficiency plan 37
