The energy ministry says the new PDP 2026 plan targets at least 65% clean power, with natural gas kept as firm base load at about 11%. Public consultation opens 8 September 2026. The ministry is also widening Direct PPA, which lets firms buy clean electricity directly from producers and use the national grid, from data centres to all industries. Grid wheeling charges are still under consideration. Exporters facing CBAM and carbon targets should watch the consultation and the wheeling tariff. LNG-driven power costs could rise above 5 baht per unit, so energy costs stay a planning risk.
