Despite recently down scaling the expected demand for additional power, EGAT still project an increase in demand in Thailand of 9000 MW over the next 8 years.
EGAT also recently announced their exploration into nuclear energy with the development of Thailand’s first nuclear power plant at an investment of $6 billion.
With South East Asia one of the fastest developing regions in the world, its demand for energy is also growing at an astonishing rate.
Recent estimates are that over $50 billion investment is required in the region, in order to meet the growing demand for power. - TradeArabia News Service
