The overseas energy unit of Thailand's second-largest construction
firm, SET-listed Ch. Karnchang Plc, has completed 65% of the 615-
Megawatt power plant since work began in 2005.
It said the remaining work at the site would cost about 30% more than
originally estimated.
The plant's operator and the Electricity Generating Authority of
Thailand (Egat), the power buyer, had agreed on a selling price years
ago in a power purchasing agreement (PPA).
''That fixed price was definitely unable to cover spiking costs, as we
calculated at that time based on steel prices at 18 baht per
kilogramme and diesel at 18 baht per litre, but steel is now at 23.50
baht and there is no need to discuss diesel,'' said Egat governor
Sombat Santijaree.
''We are trying to make it fair for all parties, though some pacts can
be reviewed to reflect actual rising costs and some just cannot.''
Egat allowed some project operators to revise their power prices
earlier, but because the 31.6-billion-baht Nam Ngum 2 had already
secured financing from Krung Thai Bank, TMB Bank and Siam City Bank,
it is too late to review its PPA.
In an attempt to generate additional income to offset those rising
costs, SEAN has been accelerating the project's construction and
expects to start operations in August 2010, four months earlier than
planned.
Egat has agreed to buy output generated as soon as the project is
complete, Mr Sombat said.
He said power policy planners were revising the 15-year power
development plan (PDP) to match the delay of new hydropower plants in
Laos and the country's power demand, expected to drop in line with the
economy.
The projects where construction has been delayed for one year include
the hydropower plants Nam Ngiep, Nam Ngum 3, Nam Theun 1, Nam Ou and
the coal-fired Hongsa Lignite plant, with a combined output of 2,336
MW.
The existing PDP is based on economic growth and power demand
projections of 5% to 5.5% per year. Demand dropped 0.08% in the peak
summer season ending in May, but a year earlier it rose 7.23%.

Thank Thanouxai, hardly to believe that our motherland
that we love became a super power country overnight…
No I didn’t mean a super power country from having
high tech or nuclear weapon, she’s a super power from
having thousand of megawatt of clean air-electricity.
Viva Laos, Viva LPDR...
