4 FAQs about Thailand Energy Storage Battery Purchase

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.

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.

Who buys electricity in Thailand?

It is the principal purchaser of electricity in Thailand and sells all the power it generates or purchases (from private power producers and neighboring countries) to two state-owned enterprises: the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) and the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA).

Does Thailand offer private sector participation in renewable electricity generation?

The Government of Thailand has opened access for private sector participation in the renewable electricity generation business through its programs for small and very small power producers.
