Burapa power station is a proposed combined-cycle natural-gas-fired power plant in Phanom Sarakham District, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. As of 2025, it is listed in the pre-construction phase.[1].
Background and Development
According to Global Energy Monitor, the project is listed with a capacity of about 540 MW and an estimated commissioning year of 2027[1]. An environmental impact assessment summary gives a project area of 127.39 rai and describes the plant as a 600-MW natural-gas-fired combined-cycle plant with diesel reserve fuel in the planning phase[2]. In February 2024, EGAT issued Invitation to Bid No. IPPP-L-01 for the “Supply and Construction of Transmission Lines 500 kV Burapa Power Generation Power Plant – Phanom Sarakham, sectionalizing of 500 kV Pluak Daeng” indicating grid-connection works are underway[3].
Power Purchase Agreement
Global Energy Monitor’s ownership tree lists Burapa Power Holding Co., Ltd. as owner, with minority shareholdings including entities such as Future Energy Holdings and Gulf Development[1]. Independent data on the specific PPA terms for the project are limited. A modelling report of Thailand’s power grid transition references the Burapa plant in its scenario analyses[4] but the exact contract terms (tariff, escalation, off-taker identity) are not publicly disclosed by independent third parties.
Status and Timeline
As of 16 September 2025, Global Energy Monitor lists the project as “pre-construction”[1]. EGAT’s procurement activity in early 2024 for transmission infrastructure supports the advancing project development status[5]
Green Energy Transition
Thailand’s power system planning increasingly pairs new gas-fired plants with renewable energy deployment. A modelling report by Bloomberg references the Burapa plant in its net-zero scenario for 2027 commissioning, highlighting its role in grid-firming alongside renewables[4].
