The target of electricity generation from renewable energy in 2036 is set at 15-20%, compared to its share in 2014 at 9%. For the transition to renewable energy, the fossil fuel power plants are still needed to keep power system security. As a backup, these power plants allow renewable energy capacity to be added to the system without problems. When I gave the Thai immigration officer my passport, he asked me why I had no visa. When I handed my passport, I was sent to a lady immigration supervisor at Thai immigration a few booths down.
