ELECTRICITY GENERATING AUTHORITY OF THAILAND EGAT

Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) Company Profile

Company Introduction:

The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) is a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry of Energy of Thailand. It is responsible for the country's electricity generation and high-voltage transmission system. EGAT operates numerous power plants across Thailand, utilizing various fuel sources including natural gas, coal, hydro, and renewable energy. Its primary role is to ensure a stable and sufficient supply of electricity for the nation's development and public consumption. EGAT also manages the national transmission grid, ensuring efficient and reliable power delivery to distributors such as the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) and Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA).

Nature of Business:

EGAT is primarily a **generator/producer** (analogous to a factory in industrial terms), not a trading company. It operates power plants to produce electricity on a large scale. While it "sells" this electricity to distribution authorities, its core function is the physical generation and transmission of power, making it an industrial producer rather than a merchant or trading entity.
