ABB reveals Thailand's energy roadmap, says industry must expand capacity while upgrading existing systems at the same time
A joint report from ABB and Verdantix says Thailand is at an energy turning point, needing to add power capacity and upgrade automation in existing factories simultaneously
ABB's Energy Industries business area published research conducted jointly with Verdantix, stating that Thai industry is facing energy pressure from multiple directions simultaneously, following 2025 investment promotion applications that hit a record 1.88 trillion baht — led by the digital, data center, and high-value manufacturing sectors, which require more stable and cleaner electricity.
The report suggests that maintaining long-term competitiveness requires pursuing two things in parallel: expanding power generation capacity, and upgrading the efficiency of process automation systems at factories already in operation, rather than weighting one side over the other.
