The Russia-Ukraine war, which has raised new fears of a coal supply disruption, will not have a serious impact on coal-fired power plants run by Banpu Power Plc (BPP), the power generation arm of non-oil energy conglomerate Banpu Plc.
Shareholders of SET-listed Ratch Group have approved a plan to acquire two coal-fired thermal power plants, with combined capacity of 2,045 megawatts, from PT Paiton Energy (PE) in Indonesia, as part of its move to increase electricity generation capacity to 10,000MW within 2025.
