Energy consumption up by 2.8% in first half, but only 0.1% rise projected for full year
Thailand’s primary energy consumption rose 2.8 per cent in the first six months of 2021, the Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO) reported on Monday.
Consumption of natural gas, lignite, hydropower and imported electricity increased as the global economy began to recover. However, oil us fell in the first half of the year due to lockdowns, travel restrictions and work-from-home measures which hit the transport sector.
