Advancing Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Integration in Thailand: Policy Perspectives and International Experience

About this event

Thailand’s power system is evolving as rooftop solar and electric vehicles begin to shape electricity flows more visibly across the grid. As these distributed energy resources (DER) and others continue to expand, policymakers, regulators, and utilities are increasingly considering how planning, governance, and institutional coordination can adapt to support their effective integration. To help advance this conversation, the Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia (CASE) project will convene a policy dialogue to present key findings from its forthcoming policy brief, drawing on recent stakeholder consultations and analysis of Thailand’s emerging DER challenges and opportunities to help inform policy action. The event will bring together Thai energy sector institutions and international experts to explore practical approaches for strengthening DER planning, governance, and coordination. Participants will hear perspectives from Germany, Australia, and Pakistan, join a moderated panel discussion on lessons relevant to Thailand, and engage in a facilitated exchange aimed at surfacing upcoming priorities for Thai stakeholders. Designed as a solutions‑focused dialogue, the session aims to support shared understanding and informed discussion on how Thailand can advance effective DER integration in its evolving power system.
