Thailand’s Energy Supply Under Wartime Pressure
Thailand’s production sites are facing an energy risk many companies still underestimate. The renewed escalation between Israel and Iran has put the Strait of Hormuz back under military pressure - and with it a critical supply route for LNG, on which Thailand is increasingly dependent. With almost sixty percent of Thailand’s electricity generation tied to natural gas, the issue is no longer limited to fuel prices; it directly affects power costs, grid stability and the operational security of every production line. For automotive, electronics and logistics companies, this is not the time to wait and observe. Energy contingency plans, load-prioritisation procedures and supply-chain buffers need to be reviewed now.
