  "summary": "Thailand and the United States have signed an agreement to conduct a preliminary feasibility study on small modular reactor (SMR) power plants in Thailand. The collaboration aims to strengthen energy security and support Thailand's clean energy transition. The agreement was signed on September 14 between the US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) and the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) during the Gastech 2026 event. The study will help EGAT assess potential sites, costs, and regulatory requirements for SMR technology, which could eventually form part of Thailand's long-term power mix to support grid stability and economic growth.",
