By participating in the competitive electricity market, Pleikrong Hydropower Plant and Se San 3 Hydropower Plant have many notable advantages. First, Pleikrong reservoir has a storage capacity of more than 1 billion cubic meters of water, creating favorable conditions for water regulation and proactive power generation for the downstream Se San 3 Hydropower Plant. In addition, as both plants are managed by the same company, the coordination of water value calculations and the development of bidding strategies can be carried out flexibly and consistently, helping improve water resource utilization efficiency and optimize revenue.
Furthermore, the four generating units of the two plants are capable of rapid startup and flexible output adjustment, effectively meeting the dispatching requirements of the power system. In particular, the ability to optimize operations according to the 30-minute trading cycle of the competitive electricity market enables the plants to effectively take advantage of periods with high electricity prices, thereby improving business efficiency.
