Market Trends of Thailand Wind Energy Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Thailand Wind Energy Market according to our research experts:
Onshore Wind Energy is Expected to Drive the Market
- As the demand for energy is rising, major companies are turning toward the adoption of renewable energy as it has the ability to provide clean energy.
- By location of deployment, the onshore industry is expected to remain the driver of the Thailand wind power industry during the forecast period, owing to declining costs and improved technology.
- Wind energy has already generated around USD 3 billion of direct investment in Thailand. Another 5-10 GW of wind installation is possible, given the right policy by the government, and could bring an additional USD 6-10 billion of investment into Thailand. The job creation figure is also promising, with 5000 to 10000 wind jobs projected in Thailand by 2050.
- Wind energy production potential is significantly higher during the monsoon in Thailand

Increasing Deployment of Alternative Renewable Energy Sources to Restrain the Growth of the Market
- As of 2018, Thailand generates around 10% of its electricity from renewable sources, with a total energy generation capacity of 45,000 MW.
- In alternative renewable energy, solar power is the dominating the renewable power sector
- The number of utility-scale solar power projects under planning and construction stage the ground-mounted solar energy is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years.
- And energy sourced from biomass is set to be one of the main players in the AEDP initiative to ramp up renewable energy production. This strategy is advantageous because, Thailand, being an agriculture-based economy, produces around 80 million tons of agriculture waste per year by 2018. This is a substantial pool of untapped energy available to be capitalized on.
- Biomass energy production utilizes the combustion or partial-combustion of organic material that could be converted to electricity or fuel.
