| Abstract | Some energy efficiency indicators for Thailand and OECD and EU 28 countries are analyzed in the period from 1990 to 2012. Both Thailand and mentioned regions have enacted and implement energy policies which have many common elements and which are by all means devoted to the increase of energy efficiency and wider use of renewable energy sources for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions and to achieve sustainable development. However, the results of the implementation of these policies are very different and point out to the great influence of economic, social and political factors. Energy efficiency depends on numerous mutually independent factors but the greatest problem is in the fact that most important factors cannot be affected by individual countries. This leads to the need to constantly control the implementation of the energy efficiency policy and to make adjustments to it. Very often, these changes are imposed by rough effects of external factors which are the consequence of globalization and the pressure of those who enforce this globalization. This paper offers some answers to possible reasons for the deviation of values and trends of energy indicators in the most developed regions in relation to Thailand. |
