Thailand has launched a sweeping energy-saving campaign targeting government operations
and public behavior, prompted by global energy market disruptions linked to Middle
East tensions.

The initiative includes measures such as reducing electricity consumption in government
buildings, promoting the use of public transportation, and encouraging citizens 
to adopt energy-efficient practices in their daily lives. Authorities are also exploring
renewable energy alternatives to reduce dependency on imported fuels, aiming to 
enhance the nation’s energy security amidst uncertain global conditions.

**Key Details:**

 * Civil servants are ordered to use stairs instead of elevators, work from home,
   and suspend non-essential overseas trips.
 * Air conditioning in government offices must be set to 26–27°C, and formal attire
   has been replaced with short-sleeved shirts to reduce cooling demand.
 * The government is halting energy exports to all countries except Laos and Myanmar,
   while urging the public to carpool and conserve energy.
 * A tariff reduction to 3.88 baht per unit for January–April 2026 has been approved
   to ease household costs, based on falling LNG prices.

**Why It Matters:**
These coordinated measures aim to stabilize energy supply, reduce
national consumption by up to 20%, and shield citizens from rising costs while ensuring
critical infrastructure and military operations remain unaffected.
