Thai electricity authority EGAT is preparing power grid infrastructure to support renewable energy targets set under the Power Development Plan (PDP), aiming for renewable energy to exceed 70% by 2026 while maintaining system stability. EGAT is exploring multiple technologies including battery storage systems, pumped hydro, demand response management, and Small Modular Reactors (SMR) as clean energy options. Key focus areas include grid flexibility improvements, ongoing battery trials in high solar-potential regions (Lopburi, Chaiyaphum), and comprehensive study of SMR technology before committing—evaluating regulatory frameworks, safety, nuclear waste management, and public acceptance in line with IAEA guidelines.
