BANGKOK -- State-owned energy group PTT will spend billions of dollars over the next decade to increase Thailand's natural gas supply, supporting the government's efforts to diversify the country's coal-heavy energy mix.

Plans for the five years through 2023 call for 167 billion baht ($5.2 billion) in investments, much of which will go into infrastructure needed to supply gas power plants.
