3 FAQs about [Storage power plant Thailand]

Where in Thailand will new power plants be built?

New power plants will be constructed in Chonburi and Rayong provinces, both approximately 130 kilometers (km) southeast of Bangkok. Each plant will have a generating capacity of 2,650MW, with natural gas serving as the primary fuel.

Why is battery storage a problem in Thailand?

This is partly due to a lack of clarity on how battery storage fits into existing electricity infrastructure. In 2022, the Thai government approved 24 BESS projects, all of which were located alongside solar operations. Their total combined storage capacity was 994 MW.

Why do some solar projects in Thailand have non-firm PPAs?

Many solar projects in Thailand have non-firm PPAs in place due to a lack of storage on site. Arrangements, including BESS, reduce the strain on power grid infrastructure and allow for better planning. On the downside, these do not improve grid stability, nor do they provide power generators with more pathways to increase revenue.
