Thailand is looking to diversify its energy mix amid dwindling reserves of natural gas.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, small modular reactors can have have a power capacity of up to 300 megawatts per unit.

“Our green transition goal is one of the most ambitious in South-east Asia, and we have a comprehensive roadmap in place to have 50 per cent of energy production be renewable by 2040,” Mr Srettha said in a speech on May 31 at an American Chamber of Commerce event in Bangkok.SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors with the capacity to generate around one-third of the electricity produced by traditional nuclear power reactors, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency .

South-east Asia currently has no operational nuclear reactor, although several countries in the region have sought to develop civilian nuclear projects, including through SMR technology. Prefabricated units of SMRs can be built and then shipped and installed on site, making them more affordable to build than large power reactors, it says.
