At 300 MW, Vajiralongkorn is around the median hydro plant in Thailand (300 MW). Technically it is described as pumped storage. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Hydropower converts the energy of falling or flowing water into electricity; output depends on rainfall and reservoir level, and large dams also provide grid balancing and storage.
