Thailand Considers Nuclear Energy as Gas Supplies Dwindle
File photo for reference only. Courtesy: wikimedia Thailand's journey towards nuclear energy takes centre stage as the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) delves into a proposed small modular reactor (SMR) project. With domestic gas shortages looming, the nation is looking to supplement its energy mix amidst unsuccessful negotiations with Cambodia over joint petroleum production in a contested area of the Gulf of Thailand. The overlapping claims area (OCA) has the potential to yield a new gas field, but progress has been marred by concerns that the 2001 memorandum of understanding could undermine Thailand's control over Koh Kut island, a picturesque tourist spot. Faced with diminishing natural gas reserves, Thailand's ambition to shore up its energy sources is evident in the 2024 power development plan, which emphasises clean energy. Small modular reactors, offering up to 300 megawatts of power each, present a nuclear alternative, these reactors promise a third of the capacity of traditional nuclear power plants but with a potentially less invasive footprint. Poonpat Leesombatpiboon, chief of the ERC, revealed plans for a collaboration with the Office for Atoms for Peace, with a memorandum of understanding to jointly explore the nuclear venture. According to insiders, the 2024 development plan, extending through 2037, envisions the installation of two SMRs, each designed to deliver 300 megawatts, by the plan's conclusion. The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) will lead this nuclear initiative, supported by insights from a 125-MW SMR project in Hainan, China. EGAT governor Thapparat Theppitak, impressed by the advanced technology, dubbed SMRs a "game changer" for the global energy landscape. While the cost of SMRs currently outweighs that of combined-cycle power plants, Thapparat believes prices will drop, and their 60-year lifespan offers a significant advantage over the 25-year average of gas or coal-fired plants. As Thailand grapples with these intricate energy challenges, the ERC's nuclear strategy could redefine the nation's power landscape. -- 2024-11-14 -
