Chapter 12 Net electricity generation from 3 Utilities

This section explains the net electricity generation from 3 utilities. Those utilities consist of EGAT, MEA, PEA. The project combines the net electricity generation from 2 data sets as follows:

  1. The budget load 2566–2567 (2023–2024)
  2. The electricity load from the NIDA study approved on 25 August 2022

The net peak and the net electricity generation are obtained from R code chunks below.

  • The Budget load 20 Oct 2022
b_load <- 
  read_excel("raw_data/load25aug2022andbudegetload.xlsx", skip = 3) %>% 
  select(year_th, year, peak_budget20oct2022, ene_budget20oct2022) %>% 
  drop_na() %>% 
  rename(a = peak_budget20oct2022, b = ene_budget20oct2022)
  • The PDP2022 load BAU ND EE70%
pdp2022_load <- read_excel("raw_data/load25aug2022andbudegetload.xlsx", skip = 3) %>% 
  select(year_th, year, peak_bau_nd_ee70, ene_bau_nd_ee70) %>% 
  drop_na() %>% 
  filter(year >= 2029) %>% 
  rename(a = peak_bau_nd_ee70, b = ene_bau_nd_ee70)
  • Combine 2 data sets by using rbind function
newload3u <- 
  rbind(x = b_load, y = pdp2022_load) %>% 
  rename(netGenPeak3U_mw = a, netGenEne3u_gwh=b)
Net electricity generation increases from 209,538 GWh in 2019 to 335,592 GWh in 2037. It increses 2.65% annually (see Figure 12.1).
