EGAT x Mission to Sustainability

The GPA is mindful of climate change and the limitations of fossil fuels, so it is accelerating the upgrading of the country's energy system by increasing the proportion of renewable energy, using technology to strengthen the electricity system, striving to develop innovation and intelligent power grids to move forward towards a concrete mission of sustainability.

.

1️⃣ Increased proportion of renewable energy

The GPA went ahead with the project of floating solar power plants in various dams, such as Ubrat Dam, Bhumibol Dam, Srinakarin Dam and Vajiralongkorn Dam, after the successful piloting of the Srinthon Dam, Ubon Ratchathani Dam.

.

2️⃣ Develop an energy storage system.

Moved forward by increasing the proportion of Pumped-Storage Hydropower (PSH) hydroelectric batteries, low cost and environmentally friendly. Currently in operation are

📌 Bhumibol Dam, Tak Mon.

📌 Srinakarin Dam, Kanchanaburi Mon.

📌 Lampong Chulavana Power Station, Nakhon Ratchasima Mon.

.

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), which is like a large backup battery of an electrical system, stores excess energy for use when there is no sun or wind, enabling the most efficient use of renewable energy, enhancing the stability of the electrical system.

📌 High Voltage Station, Chaiyaphum Mon.

📌 Chai Badal High Voltage Station, Lop Buri Mon.

📌 Smart Grid Project, Mother of the Emperor.

.

3️⃣ Develop a modern grid moderation system.

The DEA has improved its electricity delivery system, developed high-voltage stations in key economic areas to support increased electricity demand, and set up a forecast center for renewable electricity generation by adopting advanced technology and AI to calculate the accuracy of predicting solar and wind generation in advance.

.

The GPA is ready to move on to the mission of sustainability for the better energy and environmental security of all Thais. 💚
