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 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.
How can Thailand manage its energy transition?
Thailand can manage its energy transition and solve the energy trilemma of sustainability, security and affordability by accelerating renewable power additions and grid capacity expansion, while limiting new thermal power capacity addition.
Does Thailand need a power reserve margin?
It would also need to scale the programs to expand in tandem with the growth of its renewable energy market. According to the Ministry of Energy, Thailand has a power capacity reserve margin of 50%, significantly higher than the recommended reserve margin of 15-20%.
Does Thailand have a plan for renewable-plus-storage in ?
In April , Thailand awarded project rights for 1GW of solar capacity paired with one-to-four-hour storage. However, only 0.3GW has been commissioned to date. While the draft PDP2024 has ambitious battery capacity targets, Thailand has not clarified the mechanism to support deployment of renewable-plus-storage.
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 , the Thai government approved 24 BESS projects, all of which were located alongside solar operations. Their total combined storage capacity was 994 MW.
Does Thailand need more thermal power plants?
Thailand’s heavy reliance on gas-fired power plants and increased reliance on liquefied natural gas imports have already resulted in higher power prices. Instead of adding more thermal power plants, Thailand needs to consider an orderly phase out of its thermal power plants in coordination with expansion of clean power sources.
