Thailand''s renewable energy plan boosts battery
Thailand''s 2024 power development plan (PDP) aims to increase
Thailand may lack the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) necessary to navigate supply and demand challenges. The 2024 PDP draft included 10,000 MW of BESS, but this may see the country struggle to fulfil carbon neutrality and Net Zero commitments over the coming decades.
However, under the latest edition of Thailand's national Power Development Plan, published last month, the Ministry of Energy plans to procure 77.4GW of new energy capacity to meet growing demand. The peak is projected to grow to 56.1GW by 2037, while renewable energy's share of the electricity generation mix will increase to 51%.
Their total combined storage capacity was 994 MW. Interestingly, this allowed generators to sign semi-firm power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) with minimum availability guarantees. Many solar projects in Thailand have non-firm PPAs in place due to a lack of storage on site.
The battery cabinet and PCS enclosure also adopt high protection level. Hence, the energy storage system can maintain efficient yield without derating in hot and wet environment in Thailand.
The peak is projected to grow to 56.1GW by 2037, while renewable energy's share of the electricity generation mix will increase to 51%. Energy-Storage.news' publisher Solar Media will host the 2nd Energy Storage Summit Asia next week, 9-10 July 2024 in Singapore.
Thailand's 2024 power development plan (PDP) aims to increase renewable energy use, highlighting the importance of BESS alongside solar panels and wind turbines. This could create new business opportunities for entrepreneurs if prices decrease or new technologies emerge for stationary batteries.
