Unlocking Rooftop Solar Potential in Thailand: Policies and
Explore the untapped potential of rooftop solar in Thailand, the challenges holding back its adoption, and a strategic roadmap to accelerate the nation''s journey toward carbon
Solar and wind power accounted for only 5.6% of Thailand's domestic electricity supply in 2024, BNEF estimates. BNEF's Net Zero Scenario shows that solar and wind can supply 60% of Thailand's electricity in 2050 while strengthening the country's energy security and eliminating emissions.
To close this gap, Thailand is relying on more than just solar. The government's Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) promotes energy diversification, including storage systems and emerging technologies like green hydrogen. These strategies are designed to not only boost generation capacity but also ensure energy stability and resilience.
The government has quadrupled the annual quota for public solar power projects, from 100 MW to 400 MW in 2024, as part of a broader push to cut electricity costs by 8% and reach carbon neutrality by 2065. This marks a bold step in Thailand renewable energy expansion, backed by aggressive policy shifts and growing investment.
“Gas power plants running on green hydrogen under the most optimistic green hydrogen production costs would still generate electricity at more than three times the cost of solar paired with batteries in 2050.” Solar and wind power accounted for only 5.6% of Thailand's domestic electricity supply in 2024, BNEF estimates.
