Energy and climate specialists have proposed an alternative version of Thailand's power development plan (PDP) dubbed the "Resilient PDP", aimed at ensuring a smooth transition to a low-carbon economy without relying heavily on natural gas as a bridging fuel. The proposal was developed by Chalie Charoenlarpnopparut, a scholar at the Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, in collaboration with SDG Move, a research centre at Thammasat University that supports the UN Sustainable Development.
