Renewables expansion facing fresh challengesListen to this articleGunkul Engineering's wind farm in Sikhiu district, Nakhon Ratchasima. Caretaker prime minister Anutin Charnvirakul's decision to dissolve the House adds challenges to the state push for a transition to clean energy in 2026. "We hope the plan will be successfully launched," said Natee Sithiprassasana, chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries' Renewable Energy Industry Club. Another reason is the Thai economy is still dependent on foreign investment, so the government needs to attract overseas firms with sufficient clean energy supply. Naruechon Dhumrongpiyawut, chief executive of Gunkul Engineering, an integrated clean energy developer, supports the need to boost renewable energy in the new PDP.
