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.
Faced with rising energy demand and increasing reliance on energy imports, the Thai government raised the non-hydro renewables target from 20% to 30% by 2036. As more renewables seep into the nation’s energy mix, energy storage will have an important role to play in stabilising and strengthening the future power grid, Fluence added.
Their total combined storage capacity was 994 MW. Interestingly, this allowed generators to sign semi-firm power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) with minimum availability guarantees. Many solar projects in Thailand have non-firm PPAs in place due to a lack of storage on site.
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.
The Federation of Thai Industries’ Renewable Energy Industry Club sees potential in sodium-ion battery (SIB) production as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries. SIBs, made from rock salt, could offer a new business opportunity given Thailand’s abundant rock salt reserves.
Fluence’s press release cites a 2017 report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) on Thailand’s renewables outlook, which states that the country runs a risk of depleting its existing oil and gas resources within the next decade considering current usage levels.
