Thailand's Energy Ministry inspected the Khlong Ngae high-voltage power station in Songkhla, a critical hub connecting Thailand's power grid to Malaysia and part of the broader ASEAN Power Grid initiative. The facility serves as infrastructure for regional energy exchange, renewable energy integration (rooftop solar), and emergency power reserves. With modern stabilization systems (STATCOM) and cross-border cooperation with Laos, Malaysia, and Singapore, this underscores Thailand's ambition to become the energy distribution center for Southeast Asia—strategically important for regional economic growth and energy security.
