Thailand energy storage installed capacity

Does Thailand have a battery energy storage system?

36 The application of battery energy storage systems in Thailand is in its infancy, despite EPPO since October 2016 providing grants as high as about USD 23 million to support research and development (R&D) projects on battery technology through its ENCON Fund. As of July 2017,

What is Thailand's primary energy supply?

Thailand’s total primary energy supply (TPES) reached 133.1 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2019. Oil accounted for the largest share at around 30.8%, followed by natural gas at 29.7%, and coal at 13.9%. ‘Others’, which includes the commercial and residential sectors, accounted for the remaining 25.6%.

What is Thailand's energy consumption?

Oil has been the dominant fuel in Thailand’s final energy consumption, accounting for 40.7 Mtoe, or a 43.4% share, in 2019. Electricity was the second-largest energy fuel, accounting for 22.7 Mtoe, or a 24.1% share, in 2019. Oil is expected to remain the largest final energy source throughout the projection period.

What will Thailand's energy demand look like in 2036?

Energy demand in Thailand is expected to increase by 78% by 2036, and gross domestic product (GDP) by 126%. Renewables will play an important role in meeting this demand. In the REmap Options, the two largest sources of additional potential are solar PV, increasing from 6 gigawatts (GW) to almost 17 GW, and onshore wind, doubling from 3 GW to 6 GW.

Is solar energy a good investment in Thailand?

For example, solar water heating in Thailand ofers an economically attractive option for the tourism industry, particularly in the southern Thailand; by the same token, so do solar dryers for the agricultural sector, and potentially solar thermal for cooling in the buildings sector given the country’s high cooling demand during daylight hours.

Does Thailand have a target for rooftop solar PV development?

Overall, Thailand lacks a dedicated target for rooftop solar PV development. In addition, for residential households the incentives are less attractive as rooftop solar PV can only be used for self-consumption, due partly to the lack of net-metering schemes.
