Thailand's Energy Minister Akanat outlines a major energy transition strategy to reduce dependency on imported oil and LNG through domestic biofuels, solar, and wind. Key initiatives include: (1) expanding ethanol production from agricultural crops to replace imported oil; (2) deploying 5,000–7,000 MW of rooftop solar capacity across one million households through a government-backed financing model, allowing citizens to become energy producers with revenue returns over 7–10 years; (3) introducing Direct PPA markets for clean energy trading, broadening access beyond major corporations. The plan targets 60%+ clean energy in the new Power Development Plan (PDP), positioning SMEs and citizens as stakeholders rather than passive consumers.
