Energy storage is in its infancy in Thailand, and new business models are already emerging. As the regulatory framework adapts to accommodate new players in the market, we expect to see greater penetration in this area. Notes Energy Policy and Planning Office, Ministry of Energy, electricity statistics
There are currently few grid-scale energy storage projects in Thailand, although the situation is likely to change. In furtherance of its commitments under the Paris Agreement, the Thai government has enacted policies which envisage renewable energy accounting for the majority of grid capacity and output by 2040.
Thailand's current thermal power plants typically supply heat (along with power) to purchasers in neighbouring industrial estates. As the energy transition results in fewer power plants fuelled by coal and natural gas, industry will need to procure heat from alternative sources.
Watcharin Boonyarit, director of solar energy development at the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency, noted the potential for BESS to create business opportunities as Thailand transitions to renewable power sources. “We should not only import BESS but also consider new investment projects in this battery business.”
