Thailand's draft Power Development Plan 2026 (PDP 2026) nears finalization with business and academic consensus backing Option 4—a balanced approach combining 73% renewable energy with carbon capture technology (CCS) to maintain grid stability. This 25-year roadmap (2026–2050 Net Zero) sets average electricity at 3.8364 baht/unit and is expected to conclude by end-2026, pending review by the National Energy Policy Committee and Cabinet approval.
