Thailand will host Gastech 2026 (Sept 14–17, 2026) with 50,000+ attendees from 150 countries amid global energy volatility. Currently, Thailand consumes 4,400+ million cubic feet of gas daily, with 61% fueling electricity generation. As domestic reserves from the Gulf decline, the country increasingly relies on imported LNG and Myanmar gas. The convergence of rising electricity demand from AI and data centers (potentially 30,000 MW), energy security needs, and decarbonization goals makes gas, LNG, and electricity cost management critical interlinked challenges for Thai policymakers.
