Thailand

23. Final remarks




Thailand has launched EEDP plan with clear
quantified target in 2030 (25% EI reduction)
Some EE mechanism has been done in the
pass
Effective mechanisms are promoted including
regulation and incentive in order to meet EEDP
target
Evaluation and analysis of implementations are
on the way
