Energy transition pathways for the 2030 agenda: sustainable energy transition road map for Chiang Rai province, Thailand
Report
15 July 2022
The Sustainable Energy Transition Road Map for Chiang Rai Province has two main objectives. First, it aims to establish a scenario baseline for 2019-2030, considering the current policy settings. Second, it identifies the measures and technological options that could raise Chiang Rai’s efforts to align with the SDG 7 targets, national targets as well as achieving deep decarbonization of its energy system. The four scenarios are presented in this road map:

• The Current Policy scenario (CPS), which has been developed based on existing policies and plans and used to identify the gaps in existing initiatives in aligning with the SDG 7 targets and national targets and commitment towards the Paris Agreement; 

• The Sustainable Energy Transition (SET) scenario, which presents technological options and policy measures that will help the city to align its development with the SDG 7 targets and national targets;

• The Sustainable Transport strategies (STS) explore how the province can further transition its transport sector through a greater degree of mass public transport and electric vehicles usage.

• The Towards Net Zero (TNZ) scenario, the most ambitious scenario, looks at a pathway for moving towards a net zero society in the near future, through decarbonizing the electricity supply, fuel substitution and more ambitious electrification.
