completed operation hours as agreed under power
purchase agreement with EGAT. It, therefore, had the
first major overhaul scheduled maintenance of OEM
supplies for its Combined Cycle Power Plant Unit 1

with the producer of gas turbines in improving the
gas turbine combustion control system during low
electricity demand. As a result, the overall power
plant efficiency was higher than the previous
control system provided by the producer. A test and
assessment of such improvement will be conducted
