Are there grid-scale energy storage projects in Thailand?

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.

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.

Does Thailand allow behind-the-grid technology?

Regulations in Thailand already permit behind-the-grid technologies such as rooftop solar and storage to be deployed, subject to the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC)’s licensing regime.

Why is Thailand relying on more than just solar?

To close this gap, Thailand is relying on more than just solar. The government’s Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) promotes energy diversification, including storage systems and emerging technologies like green hydrogen. These strategies are designed to not only boost generation capacity but also ensure energy stability and resilience.
