WELCOME FROM ELECTRICITY <strong>GEN</strong>ERATING AUTHORITY<br />

Welcome to <strong>POWER</strong>-<strong>GEN</strong> <strong>Asia</strong> and Renewable Energy World <strong>Asia</strong> 2013. It is the great honour<br />
for Thailand to be selected as the venue of <strong>POWER</strong>-<strong>GEN</strong> <strong>Asia</strong> for the two consecutive years. The<br />
event is of great significance to many organizations and business enterprises in power industry<br />
and energy management, including the equipment manufacturers and suppliers, energy service<br />
providers, fuel suppliers as well as research and development institutes.<br />
EGAT is a large organization which has played a vital role in power generation and transmission. For<br />
the past 44 years, it has been our commitment to build power system stability and to encourage<br />
the power grid interconnection with the neighbouring countries on the basis of environment,<br />
society and community responsibility. We own and operate 39 power plants located at different<br />
sites across the kingdom with the installed capacity of 15000 MW or 46% of the total installed<br />
capacity. We also operate a high voltage transmission network and National Control Center under<br />
the Enhanced Single Buyer (ESB) Model. Natural gas is major fuel in power generation, followed<br />
by lignite, heavy oil and diesel respectively. Apart from these, renewable energy such as hydro,<br />
solar and wind power is also used to reduce global warming.<br />
EGAT is growing along with the country development under the vision to become a world class<br />
organization in the electric power industry. Currently EGAT Group consists of 5 subsidiaries and<br />
affiliates as followed:<br />

In 2015, ASEAN member countries will enter ASEAN Economic Community or AEC. EGAT has been implementing projects to strengthen<br />
energy system and enhance competitiveness of the country. The major project is the interconnection of ASEAN power system or ASEAN<br />
Power Grid initiated in year 2000 to fulfill one of ASEAN Vision 2020. The goal of the project is to connect the power system of neighbouring<br />
countries and enhance ASEAN power system stability under the concept of “Growing Together and Synergy for Future”<br />
As the supporter of <strong>POWER</strong>-<strong>GEN</strong> <strong>Asia</strong> and Renewable Energy World <strong>Asia</strong> 2013, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all delegates<br />
