The program aligns with both national and global energy contexts. The curriculum covers key areas such as the National Energy Plan, Thailand Power Development Plan, Oil Plan, Thailand Energy Efficiency Development Plan and Alternative Energy Development plan. By fostering collaboration among agencies within the Ministry of Energy, the program seeks to build an integrated network to enable efficient and effective operations to support energy transition and to successfully achieve national energy goals.
