Thailand to host Future Energy Asia 2018
The Ministry of Energy is preparing to host the "Future Energy Asia 2018" event in December next year, hoping to transform Thailand into an energy hub of Asia.
The event is considered a step forward for Thailand to become a 4.0 nation that provides a business platform for energy companies to transform themselves into integrated energy providers. Such transformation will lead to sustainable energy development in Thailand.
According to the International Energy Agency, demand for energy in Southeast Asia from 2015 to 2040 will surge by as much as 80%. Investments in the energy sector in Asia are expected to increase by US$250 billion in the next two decades.
