Key report themes: 1) The government approved Power Development Plan for 2018-2037, and coal and wind are taking the back seat. 2) Thailand pioneers blockchain energy trade in the region but regulator could impose new fees to participants. 3) The energy regulatory commission has launched a direct PPA for capacity of 100 MW under the household solar scheme. 4) We have reduced our generic coal capacity forecast in response to the latest PDP.
