Nuea Khlong (Thai: เหนือคลอง, pronounced [nɯ̌a̯ kʰlɔ̄ːŋ]) is a district (amphoe) in Krabi province, Thailand.

[2] Neighboring districts are (from the northwest clockwise): Mueang Krabi, Khao Phanom, Khlong Thom, and Ko Lanta.

In 1964, three 20 MW coal-fired plants came on-line adjacent to a coal mine that supplied fuel for the boilers.

EGAT plans to build on the same site an 800 MW coal-fired plant[3] to come on-line in 2019, burning 2.3 million tonnes of coal yearly, imported from Indonesia, Australia, and South Africa.

EGAT's plans have encountered significant resistance from local residents due to their health concerns and fears of detrimental environmental impact.
