The Energy Ministry says a PDP 2026 sub-committee meets on 17 August 2026 to discuss the long-term power plan: the share of renewables, the role of gas plants, battery storage, and SMR nuclear, balanced against grid security and electricity cost. The meeting may not finalise the full plan; it is the first step before public hearings. For a Thai SME, nothing changes today, but long-term power prices and the supply for new data-centre and industrial demand will be shaped by this plan. Watch for the announced electricity cost and renewables targets over the next few months, especially if you are planning a solar installation or a large power-hungry expansion.
