Electricity Generation
The World Commission on Dams report also raised doubts about the amount of power which the dam can produce. It argued that the dam could not reliably produce the anticipated amount of electricity, making it economically nonviable. EGAT responded that such consistent electricity production was unnecessary, and that the dam was a useful source of electricity (although it is not clear how it is useful, since Thailand produces 130% of its daily electrical needs).
