4 FAQs about Thailand energy storage equipment bess
What is battery energy storage system (BESS)?
While aiming for clean energy transition, Battery Energy Storage System, or BESS, has become an important device for energy integration. It increases the stability of renewable energy which is often fluctuating and not consistent.
Why is Bess important in Thailand?
In the future, when the proportion of renewable energy in Thailand’s power system increases, BESS will become even more important for controlling the quality of electricity in real time as well as enhancing grid flexibility.
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.
Can Bess create business opportunities in Thailand?
Watcharin Boonyarit, director of solar energy development at the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency, noted the potential for BESS to create business opportunities as Thailand transitions to renewable power sources. “We should not only import BESS but also consider new investment projects in this battery business.”
