The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), in partnership with Nation Group, hosted the “Safe & Save: EGAT Green Nam Tee Lam Takong” event in Nakhon Ratchasima on 16–17 October, highlighting Thailand’s continued progress towards clean and sustainable energy. The two-day programme aimed to strengthen public awareness by offering hands-on experiences with EGAT’s key initiatives.

As Thailand’s main electricity producer, EGAT plays a central role in driving the country’s transition to a low-carbon future. With electricity generation remaining a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, EGAT has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and is steadily increasing the share of renewable energy in its power mix while ensuring energy security.

The event opened at the EGAT Learning Centre in Nonthaburi, where Thidade Eiamsai, EGAT Deputy Governor for Power Business, emphasised the vision of a “Clean and Stable Energy Transition towards Sustainability.” A convoy of 30 electric vehicles then departed for Nakhon Ratchasima, symbolising EGAT’s commitment to promoting low-emission travel.

One of the key highlights was a visit to the Lamtakong Jolabha Vadhana Power Plant, Thailand’s first pumped-storage hydropower facility. Hidden more than 350 metres underground, the plant operates as a large-scale “natural battery”, storing water during low-demand periods and generating electricity during peak times. This system plays an essential role in balancing intermittent renewable energy sources and supporting grid stability.

Participants later visited the EGAT Learning Centre – Lam Takong, where five interactive stations introduced various energy technologies, renewable innovations, and the importance of energy balance. The centre is also powered by its own renewable energy systems, serving as a working model of clean-energy use.

The journey concluded at Khao Yai Thiang Mountain, home to scenic viewpoints, wind turbines, and EGAT’s Wind-Hydrogen Hybrid System, which converts excess wind power into hydrogen for later electricity generation. The event ended with a dinner reception, leaving participants with a deeper appreciation of Thailand’s clean-energy ambitions and the innovations driving the country’s sustainable future.
