The National Energy Technology Center (ENTEC), NSTDA, organized the “Capability Building for Energy Transition (2025)” training program for personnel of the Office of Energy Regulatory Commission (OERC). The training program will run from April to October 2025.

Additionally, Dr. Poonpat Leesombatpiboon, Secretary-General of the OERC, presided over the opening ceremony and delivered a speech expressing his expectations for this year’s training. He highlighted that the training program serves as a crucial platform for enhancing knowledge, fostering understanding, and encouraging the exchange of ideas and experiences. This, in turn, will ultimately help Thailand adapt, accommodate, and grow steadily in the evolving energy landscape of the future.
