6 FAQs about Future New Energy Storage Project in Chiang Mai Thailand

Does Thailand need a battery energy storage system?

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.

What is Thailand's 2024 Power Development Plan?

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.

How many mw can a solar generator store in Thailand?

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.

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.

Will CMU buy solar energy?

CMU will buy the electricity produced from the system, including solar rooftop installation and energy storage system, which is developed and installed by BCPG, with Power Ledger as digital energy partner. – The project which covers a period of 20 years will see the installation of solar panels on more than 150 buildings in the University.

What is the future of energy in Malaysia?

Coal and gas are expected to account for 48%, with the remaining 1% from nuclear energy and new solutions aimed at reducing fossil fuel usage. Investment in renewable energy between 2024 and 2030 is estimated at 525 billion baht, with an additional electricity generation capacity of 13.3 megawatts.
