The power sector currently accounts for about 60 percent of overall natural gas demand, though its share has gradually declined from above 80 percent before 2000 as other sectors have grown rapidly. The power sector is dependent on gas as a fuel, with gas-fired stations supplying 71 percent of Thailand's domestic generation in 2011, down from 76 percent in 2010 according to EPPO. The Thai government projects natural gas demand to climb to 2,555 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/y) by 2022, growing 1.5 percent per year if gas-fired power generation continues to be the dominant fuel.
