The following linked article appears to explain the fact that site preparation had already begun in earnest before (as early as June, 2005), while the contract wasn't signed until early August. It appears that there is an electricity supply shortfall in the South. And that the shortfall is being made up with supplies from Malaysia; presumably through the border switching plant that Siemens constructed near Khlong Ngae a few years back. Furthermore, it appears that the Power Plant will eventually be run mainly on Natural Gas drawn from the Malaysian sector of the Joint Development Area; although agreements have been reached with PTT Exploration to remedy that situation:-
