Description | National Petrochemicals Public Co. Ltd has developed a 100MW natural gas and waste-to energy power plant at Muang Rayong. The plant will use agricultural waste as fuel and sell 32MW of power to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) under the Small Power Producers (SPP) Program. A 21-year PPA was signed on October 29, 1996 and began selling power to EGAT as of April 1, 1997. EGAT signed a "firm" contract with the project company. Nominal levelized tariffs are set 1.60bht per Kwh. Estimated project cost is $98.7 million ($1.0 million per MW). In 2005, oil and gas company PTT acquired National Petrochemical Public Co.
