Thailand energy report

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  The Ministry of Energy is responsible for energy policy development through its own department, the Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO). However, ultimately the National Energy Policy Committee (NEPC), which is chaired by the Prime Minister, represents the decision-making body.

  The Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE) is responsible for activities ...

• Energy Companies
  
  Oil:

  Petroleum Authority of Thailand (PTT) is the national oil company (51% owned by the government).

• Energy Supply
  
  Resources:

  Proved natural gas reserves amount to 193 bcm (2017), i.e. around 4 years of consumption. Most of the gas reserves are located offshore in the Gulf of Thailand. Proved oil reserves amounted to 54 Mt in 2017, representing less than one year of consumption. Thailand also has significant lignite reserves, but its use brings about environmental problems (1.1 Gt).

• Energy Prices
  
  Electricity:

  The average prices of electricity are US$9.1c/kWh for industry and US$10c/kWh for households (2017). A new structure for the electricity tariffs was adopted in 2005 to control the electricity price rises before the privatisation of EGAT. The basic tariff was capped at 2.25 baht/kWh until 2008; that basic tariff included the administrative costs of EGAT and the costs in currencies. A ...

• Energy Consumption

  Per capita consumption in 2017 was 2 toe, including around 2 700 kWh of electricity.

  Total energy consumption is growing rapidly (3.9%/year since 2000) and reached 138 Mtoe in 2017. Oil covers 40% of the country's needs, natural gas 26%, biomass 20% and coal 12%. The gas market share has increased (12% in 1990, 24% in 2000) to the detriment of oil.

  Since 2000 the final ...

• Issues & Prospects
  
  

  TIEB 2015 defines the energy trajectory until 2036. Oil demand is expected to increase by 3.3%/year until 2036 in the BAU scenario.

In the Thailand market report you will find follow tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GNP growth, imports & exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil & gas reserves, electric & refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All detailed by energy source.
• Demand Indicators: Historical data includes consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source & sector, and, electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Unique tabular display of the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

The Thailand market data since 1990 included in the Excel file is given below.
Historical evolution allows to easily work with the data.

2017 Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Thailand Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Thailand energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
