context_page_description: Energy in Thailand refers to the production, storage, import and export, and use of energy in the Southeast Asian nation of Thailand. Thailand's energy resources are modest and being depleted. The nation imports most of its oil and significant quantities of natural gas and coal. Its energy consumption has grown at an average rate of 3.3% from 2007–2017. Energy from renewables has only recently begun to contribute significant energy.
  There is some disparity in published figures: according to the Ministry of Energy, the country's primary energy consumption was 75.2 Mtoe in 2013. According to BP, primary energy consumption in 2013 was 118.3 Mtoe, rising to 133 Mtoe in 2018.
