New plan prepares for nuclear power

Quick Summary:

Authorities are working on a plan to prepare Thailand for nuclear power technology, though the enforcement of the new power development plan (PDP), which approves the development of small modular reactors (SMRs), is facing delays.

This should be the task of policymakers who will give the final say on nuclear power," said the official.

Under the plan, renewable energy is set to comprise 51% of total fuel use by 2037, up from 20% at the end of 2023, while coal and gas should fall to 48%, down from nearly 80% as of early 2024.
