Thailand Needs More Battery Energy Storage Systems
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,
The energy storage market in Thailand is growing at a rapid pace, with battery energy storage systems playing a pivotal role. From reducing peak demand on the power grid to facilitating the integration of renewable energy, battery energy storage systems are making a significant impact in the country's energy sector.
The future of the BESS market in Thailand looks bright, with several factors boosting its growth. The government's initiatives to promote clean energy and the integration of renewable energy sources into the national grid system under Net Metering programs is one of the largest drivers.
BESS utilizes lithium-ion battery which has several notable features, such as rapid electricity supply within milliseconds (ms), lightweight, long lifespan of over 10 years. It is installed in a container with air-conditioning, making it similar to an energy box.
Therefore, BESS is one of the technologies the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) uses to help enhance power system security. BESS utilizes lithium-ion battery which has several notable features, such as rapid electricity supply within milliseconds (ms), lightweight, long lifespan of over 10 years.
