Energy security has long been an issue of concern

over the course of Thailand's development. In the
past, power generation in Thailand relied heavily on
crude oil imports. To remedy this, the Government
initiated a shift to natural gas in the power generation
Thailand sector as early as the 1980s.
Such effort has continued throughout the 1990s. And,
in 2005 about 72% of electricity in Thailand was
generated using natural gas, which is already a
cleaner alternative to other types
of fossil fuels.
