Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2014, vol. 31, issue C, 312-318

Abstract: Thailand generates electricity from many sources, including natural gas, coal/lignite, fuel oil, diesel, and renewable energies, such as wind, hydroelectricity, and solar power. In 2012, the main electrical energy sources in Thailand were natural gas (63.8%) and coal/lignite (27.7%). Due to fuel price spikes and global warming, several countries are now more interested in studying and developing sources of renewable energy.
