Based on communications from Praserdvigai (2005), an estimate of 2.54 MWt and 79.1 TJ/yr are currently installed and being utilized at a 0.3 MWe binary plant at Fang in Chiang-Mai province. A small crop-drying facility and air-conditioning unit are utilizing the exhaust from the power plant.
The distribution of use is
0.04 MWt and 0.3 TJ/yr for crop drying and
2.5 MWt and 78.8 TJ/yr for bathing and swimming,
for a total of 2.54 MWt and 79.1 TJ/yr.
