The forum brought together representatives from the public and industrial sectors to exchange perspectives on the development of smart grids to support Thailand’s energy transition and industries of the future.

The discussion highlighted the role of smart grids in enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and flexibility of the power system.

Mr. Akarin shared his view that access to reliable, competitively priced, and transparent clean energy is becoming an increasingly important factor in business operations and investment decisions. As businesses worldwide place greater emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout their supply chains, smart grid development will serve as a key mechanism for improving energy management efficiency and enabling a tangible transition toward clean energy.
