3. Social and Environmental Responsibility
In 2013, the Company operates under the
goal and principle to create sustainable growth by
emphasizing on 3 aspects which are economic aspect,
social aspect and environmental aspect.
Economic Aspect
The Company plans to invest in electricity
generating business, renewable energy business
and business relating to electricity generation to
increase the Company’s income. At the same time,
the Company values the maintenance of power
plants’ efficiency to meet with electricity demands
and to continually support social and economical
development of the country. The Company
especially focuses on three power plants which are
located in Ratchaburi province, namely Ratchaburi
Power Plant, the Company’s main power plant with
3,644 MW installed capacity; Tri Energy Power Plant
with 700 installed capacity and Ratchaburi Power’s
Power Plant with 1,400 MW installed capacity.
These three power plants are significant electricity
source of the country with 5,745 MW total installed
capacity. In the previous year, these three power
plants played significant role in ensuring Thailand’s
electric system stability when Yanada and Yetagun
gas field in Myanmar had unplanned maintenance
in April and December, which were the time when
electricity demands from all sectors were high. If
these power plants had not been able to generate
electricity due to fuel shortage at the time, there
could have been adverse effects on social and
economical development of the country.
