MARKET OVERVIEW

Thailand Renewable Energy, I-REC (ESG) & Carbon Credit Market Overview

Thailand's renewable energy build-out is accelerating under the government's Power Development Plan 2024 (PDP2024), which targets renewable sources reaching 51% of total installed electricity generation capacity by 2037, led by utility-scale and rooftop solar, onshore wind, biomass and hydropower. This build-out is positioning Thailand as one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing sources of verifiable, tradeable Energy Attribute Certificates, with the International Renewable Energy Certificate (I-REC) standard as the country's sole recognised instrument for proving renewable electricity consumption.

As global supply chains tighten disclosure requirements, there is increasing demand for Thailand ESG data, Renewable Energy Certificates, Green Energy Certificate-equivalent instruments, Energy Attribute Certificates, carbon credits, Net-Zero commitments, and Decarbonization strategies, instruments that prove renewable electricity consumption and emissions reduction. Corporations with operations, suppliers, or sourcing relationships connected to Thailand are increasingly seeking credible ways to support Thailand's ESG goals, Scope 2 Renewable Energy Certificates claims, and broader Net-Zero commitments.

Hestiya provides access to verified climate assets through a transparent, blockchain-powered marketplace, spanning I-REC certificates, Renewable Energy Certificates, Energy Attribute Certificate documentation, and T-VER carbon credits. Buyers and developers alike can discover, evaluate, and transact Thailand-based climate assets in one place, backed by verifiable ownership records and retirement documentation suited to formal Thailand ESG Reporting disclosures.

Thailand Renewable Energy Market: Growth, Policy & Climate Opportunity

Solar leads Thailand's renewable build-out, supported by strong irradiance and government incentives for both utility-scale farms and distributed rooftop installations, followed by onshore wind, biomass, hydropower and a growing waste-to-energy segment. Since 2017, EGAT (the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand) has served as the country's accredited I-REC Local Issuer under the International Tracking Standard Foundation (I-TRACK), with each certificate corresponding to 1 MWh of verified renewable electricity generation. Unlike some Asian markets that have shifted to closed domestic GEC (Green Electricity Certificate) systems, Thailand continues to rely on the internationally recognised I-REC standard, the same global Energy Attribute Certificate framework used by RE100, CDP and the GHG Protocol, keeping Thai Renewable Energy Certificate claims directly comparable across export markets.

In January 2025, Thailand's Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) launched the Utility Green Tariff (UGT), priced at 4.21 THB per kWh, alongside a green electricity scheme offering roughly 2 billion units of renewable power to businesses through an integrated utility billing process. Private-sector participation is also expanding, with companies including PTT and CKPower advancing blockchain-based I-REC trading platforms to support corporate renewable procurement.

  • Solar- and wind-led capacity growth, targeting 51% of installed generation capacity by 2037 under PDP2024
  • Hydropower, biomass, waste-to-energy and a growing rooftop solar segment are adding further certificate-eligible generation
  • EGAT-administered I-REC issuance, Thailand's sole internationally recognised Energy Attribute Certificate standard since 2017
  • Utility Green Tariff (UGT) and corporate Scope 2 Renewable Energy Certificates procurement through bundled and unbundled trades

Thailand Climate Policy & Sustainability Landscape

Thailand's Third Nationally Determined Contribution, submitted in October 2025, aligns the country with a 1.5°C pathway and accelerates its Net-Zero target to 2050, fifteen years earlier than the 2065 goal set out in its previous NDC, alongside a commitment to cut net greenhouse gas emissions by 47% by 2035 against 2019 levels. The Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation (TGO) administers the Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (T-VER), the country's domestic carbon credit scheme, together with a Premium T-VER category designed to meet Paris Agreement Article 6 integrity standards.

On the disclosure side, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires listed companies to report ESG data annually through Form 56-1 (One Report) on a comply-or-explain basis, supported by the Stock Exchange of Thailand's Sustainability Reporting Guide. The SEC is now phasing in ESG Reporting requirements aligned with ISSB Standards (IFRS S1 and S2) between 2027 and 2031, starting with a climate-first focus on Scope 1 and Scope 2 Renewable Energy Certificates-backed emissions data.

  • Net-Zero target: 2050 under Thailand's Third NDC, accelerated from the earlier 2065 goal
  • Thailand Decarbonization strategy spanning power, industry and transport, reinforced by the TGO-administered T-VER carbon credit scheme
  • SEC Form 56-1 One Report and phased ISSB-aligned rules (2027–2031) driving mandatory corporate ESG Reporting

THAILAND CLIMATE ASSETS AVAILABLE ON HESTIYA

Hestiya's Thailand Carbon Credits Marketplace and I-REC Marketplace enable organisations to purchase verified Renewable Energy Certificates, access T-VER carbon credits, and support renewable energy procurement, all while meeting Thailand's ESG and sustainability targets. The platform also functions as a Green Energy Certificate-style marketplace for buyers who need documented proof of renewable electricity consumption tied directly to Thailand-based generation assets.

Solar I-REC Certificates

Utility-scale and distributed rooftop solar remain Thailand's fastest-scaling renewable segment, supporting I-REC-backed corporate Renewable Energy Certificate claims.

Onshore Wind Renewable Energy Certificates

A growing onshore wind pipeline adds further renewable electricity supply eligible for certificate issuance, strengthening the case for Thailand Energy Attribute Certificate adoption.

Hydropower, Biomass & Waste-to-Energy Certificates

Hydropower, biomass and waste-to-energy plants across Thailand continue to add renewable electricity supply eligible for I-REC issuance, complementing the country's solar and wind build-out.

Corporate Renewable Procurement (Bundled & Unbundled Trades)

Bundled and unbundled I-REC trades support direct corporate renewable offtake and Scope 2 Renewable Energy Certificates claims for large electricity users.

T-VER Carbon Credits

Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction credits, administered by the TGO, let organisations offset verified emissions with project-based carbon credits, including Premium T-VER projects.
