Thailand hits peak electricity usage 
Bangkok Post: 6 Apr 2010
Peak electricity usage was yesterday

Bangkok Post * Published: 6/04/2010 at 08:53 PM



Phibul Buacham, assistant governor of Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat) revealed that yesterday (April 5) at 14.30 was the time that electricity usage peaked this year at 23,529 megawatts, a 6.74% increase from the previous peak this year.

Egat predicted that this year's highest peak would be about 23,600 megawatts.

Yesterday, Bangkok's weather was at 37.2 degree celcius, still below the peak predicted by the Meterological Department at 41-42 celcius for this year.

Since the rise in power consumption, Egat's electricity reserve dropped to 20%, which was be enough not to cause the black-out or brown-out. The rise in electricity usage is due to the hot weather and the rising exports. About half of electricity usage is in industrial sector while households account for 23%, the remaining are commercial buildings and shopping centres.
