To mitigate the impact of intermittent wind and solar power generation, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) plans to invest 90 billion Thai baht (approximately 2.6 billion USD) in expanding pumped-storage hydropower plants at three dams.
These plants will use pumped storage hydropower technology, with a total estimated capacity of 2,472 MW. The first facility is expected to begin operation by 2034.
