How does Thailand use its energy resources?
Thailand with mostly low enthalpy resources, has the potential to make use of its resources for smaller scale development for power generation and direct use. Thailand has been seeking to diversify from its currently fossil fuel based power generation towards more renewable energy power generation.
Does Thailand have a geothermal power plant?
A recent TV piece from Thailand shows the country's only geothermal power plant in Chiang Mai, in the north of the country. Thailand with mostly low enthalpy resources, has the potential to make use of its resources for smaller scale development for power generation and direct use.
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.
What is a battery energy storage system?
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are essential for buildings and renewable power generation facilities to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply. Renewable sources like solar and wind power are intermittent, and influenced by weather patterns. BESS mitigates this issue by storing electricity for future use.
Is geothermal a viable option in Thailand?
Geothermal is one of the option and in a recent piece by a local TV station, some footage shows the Fang/ Chiang Mai geothermal plant in the province of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. The plant started operation in December 1989.

What is Carlton power's £300m liquid air energy storage project?
Carlton Power, the UK energy infrastructure development company, is pleased to announce that Highview Power's £300m liquid air energy storage (LAES) project will be the first energy scheme to be built on its Trafford Low Carbon Energy Park, at Carrington, eight miles south of Manchester.
Who backed UK's first commercial energy storage project?
The owner of British Gas has backed a pioneering plan to build the UK's first commercial energy storage project to use liquid air in a £300m fundraising. Highview Power has revealed Centrica is among a consortium of investors that are supporting its proposal, alongside the UK Infrastructure Bank, mining giant Rio Tinto and Goldman Sachs.

Liquid air energy storage firm Highview Power has raised £300 million (US$384 million) from the UK Infrastructure Bank (UKIB) and utility Centrica to immediately start building its first large-scale project.
How will a 50 megawatt energy storage facility work?
The money will help to finance construction of a 50 megawatt energy storage facility in Carrington, on the outskirts of Manchester, capable of running for six hours by 2026. It will work by compressing air into a liquid and then cooling it to temperatures of almost -200C. The air will be stored in insulated tanks at low pressure.
Will the UK remove barriers to energy storage deployment?
The UK government has vowed to remove barriers to energy storage deployment in response to an Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report. In its report, the EAC warned the lack of long duration energy storage (LDES) in the UK was driving the importation of gas.
What's happening in the UK energy storage sector?
Energy Voice takes a look at major developments in the UK energy storage sector in the latest edition of Charging Forward. In this week's Charging Forward, First Minister John Swinney heralds an £800m investment across two battery storage sites in Scotland from Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Alcemi..
