Grid Storages in Thailand
Thailand has 6 grid storages mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 18th-largest fleet of the 58 countries that hold any, and 0.6% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 3 operating and 3 under construction or proposed. The largest is Lam Ta Khong hydroelectric plant (1.0 GW).
The largest owner-operators are Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) (4) and Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (2) — Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) alone is named on 67% of them. 3 are in the pipeline, led by Vajiralongkorn Pumped Storage hydroelectric plant (900 MW), proposed. They account for 2% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Thailand.
