North Bangkok Power Station is a 704 MW gas power station in Bangkok, Thailand. It ranks #29 of 238 Thailand power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2010, it is around 16 years old — relatively modern. In context, gas supplies about 65.5% of Thailand's electricity; the national grid averages 546 gCO₂/kWh (16.6% low-carbon) (2025).

Known, modelled and calculated values are kept separate. Missing fields are shown as unavailable.
The public capacity above is the current source-record value. A 2026 tracker candidate lists 2,198 MW for North Bangkok power station, but it is not used as the public primary value until scope is verified (unit vs operating vs installed/project total).
The capacity and fuel fields on this page are source-record values from the upstream open dataset. They are useful for identification and ranking, but they have not been upgraded to a 2026 registry/GEM-location verified value.

At 704 MW, North Bangkok Power Station is well above the median gas plant in Thailand (256 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). Its current lifecycle status is “Mothballed” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
