Thailand's power sector urged to tighten policies on electricity security

摘要

Thailand's power market and institutional structure aligns well with its strong commitment to electricity security. Thus states the International Energy Agency in its report, Thailand Electricity Security Assessment 2016. There, it goes on to mention that power sector development plans are best developed in an open, transparent fashion, where responsible parties are given sufficient capacity and an appropriate level of independence. As long as policy goals are clearly articulated and responsibilities clearly delineated, the resulting plan should strike an appropriate balance between security, economy and environment, says the International Energy Agency.
