It also cautions against large wind investments for now, noting that Thailand''s relatively low wind speeds make big resource-intensive projects costly compared with solar.

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.
Solar and wind power accounted for only 5.6% of Thailand’s domestic electricity supply in 2024, BNEF estimates. BNEF’s Net Zero Scenario shows that solar and wind can supply 60% of Thailand’s electricity in 2050 while strengthening the country’s energy security and eliminating emissions.
This is partly due to a lack of clarity on how battery storage fits into existing electricity infrastructure. In 2022, the Thai government approved 24 BESS projects, all of which were located alongside solar operations. Their total combined storage capacity was 994 MW.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are essential for buildings and renewable power generation facilities to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply. Renewable sources like solar and wind power are intermittent, and influenced by weather patterns. BESS mitigates this issue by storing electricity for future use.
