Abstract
Thailand primary energy largely depends on imported supply sources. Currently, Thailand imports crude oil and natural gas at about 80% and 40% of the annual consumption. Disruption on the energy supply could result in energy crisis in the country. The Ministry of Energy (MoEN) of Thailand and the International Energy Agency (IEA) had carried out Emergency Response Assessment (ERA) for Thailand energy sector. There are 5 areas that key recommendations have been made. In overall, Thailand's current emergency response system as “well prepared” and “steadily strengthened”. This is due to excellent management of primary energy supply and well-functioning of the MoEN crisis management committee. However, there are rooms for improvement.
