The Energy Ministry has opened public consultation on the draft PDP 2026 (power plan for 2026-2050). The preferred hybrid scenario targets 73% renewables alongside CCS, with a 300 MW SMR pilot led by EGAT and an average tariff cap of 3.88 baht/unit over the plan. Data centres and EVs have requested 22,000-30,000 MW. Premium clean power for buyers such as data centres may be priced above the standard household rate. The plan will be revised every 2-3 years. For an SME, the tariff ceiling is the key number; direct PPA and third-party access expansion may matter if you have high load and want clean power. Nothing needs to change yet, but watch the final plan.
