Egat forecasts rise in electricity demand

Egat forecasts rise in electricity demand 3 Postive signs seen in first half of the year published : 13 Jul 2021 at 04:09 Power demand is expected to grow this year after a 3% decline in 2019. State-run Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat) estimates electricity output and imports this year to rise by 1.68% to 195.16 billion kilowatt hour (KWH), from 191.93 billion KWH last year, due to a extended hot season and positive socio-economic factors. Egat governor, Boonyanit Wongrukmit, said the increase is based on assumptions that power demand will be driven by exports, which are expected to grow, and more vaccinated people. The hot season this year extended into June and July, too, leading to greater use of air conditioners.

Wānaka solar power project a model for NZ in the future

“I think this will shift the whole conversation. “It is leading the way on a model that could be extended to other pockets like this around the country that have similar isolation and geography,” Coates said. Hamish McNeilly/Stuff Aurora general manager asset management and planning Glenn Coates says the Wānaka scheme is leading the way for New Zealand. Faced with massive ongoing growth in the Upper Clutha region, the traditional response from Aurora would have been to instal a third $25m distribution line from Central Otago to meet electricity demand, he said. Instead, the company called for alternative options and selected a SolarZero proposal that would provide a virtual power plant in the region.

ERC delays notice of qualified investors

ERC delays notice of qualified investors 2 published : 5 Jul 2021 at 08:30 2 The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has delayed the announcement of qualified investors in the Energy For All renewable energy scheme by one week because of Covid-19 and a overload of paperwork. ERC secretary-general Khomgrich Tantravanich said a large number of documents for the Energy For All projects were sent to the state electricity distribution arm Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), which could not screen them in time. PEA oversees areas where the projects, which are a co-investment in biomass and biogas-based power generation between businesses and communities, will be carried out. Mr Khomgrich said many prospective investors applied for the scheme, leading to a lengthy process to inspect their qualifications because officials have to limit the number of applicants per day. Officials need to screen 246 firms: 143 for biomass projects and 103 for biogas
