4 FAQs about Thailand Chiang Mai Gravity Energy Storage Project

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 Chiang Mai have a waste management system?

The Ministry of Interior has instructed each province on waste management methods, including the use of smokeless incinerators to generate electricity. "As Chiang Mai is a major tourist destination, the province must manage around 2,500 tonnes of waste daily. Previously, Chiang Mai lacked a suitable waste disposal area.

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.

How will the energy transition affect Thailand's thermal power plants?

Thailand’s current thermal power plants typically supply heat (along with power) to purchasers in neighbouring industrial estates. As the energy transition results in fewer power plants fuelled by coal and natural gas, industry will need to procure heat from alternative sources.
