  • EGAT Overview
    BACK FRONT With concern for sustainable power security, EGAT has considered various factors and limitations in all aspects, including power capacity planning, development of innovation and technology, public participation, and social and environmental responsibility. EGAT is determined to innovate power solutions for a better life of Thais both today and in the future. “EGAT Power for Thai Happiness” INCOVER INCOVER Introduction Over a half century, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has existed alongside the Thai Society as a state enterprise responsible for power system security. With advanced and eco-friendly power generation technology and transmission system, EGAT ensures the response to electricity demand, a crucial driver for development of economic growth and the country. To keep itself abreast of rapid changes, EGAT gets ready to be adjusted and has developed innovations on electrical power, including Hydro-Floating Solar Hybrid System, RE Forecast Center, Energy Storage System, coupled with the power generation from EGAT main power plants, to enhance security and stability of the power system. In addition to power generation, EGAT continually promotes the responsibility on society, communities, and environment, through energy-saving and environmental conservation projects, such as EGAT Reforestation Project, Green Learning Room Project, No.5 Energy Saving Labeling Project, along with EGAT Leaning Centers nationwide to share knowledge with the society. All of these are to bring about sustainable happiness of all Thais. Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand March 2020 2 EGAT Overview EGAT Profile The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) was established by virtue of the EGAT Act B.E. 2511 (1968) on May 1, 1969 which merges assets and operations of the 3 previous state enterprises, namely Yanhee Electricity Authority (YEA), Lignite Authority (LA), and North-East Electricity Authority (NEEA).

  • Listening to Women Fishers on the Sekong River: Fostering Resilience in Village Fishery Co-Management
    Listening to Women Fishers on the Sekong River: Fostering Resilience in Village Fishery Co-Management Charlotte Moser Abstract The accelerated economic development of landlocked Laos, combined with extreme climate variables, points to dramatic transformations in subsistence fisheries on its rivers. In the country’s first Fisheries Law, adopted in 2009, co-management of village fisheries is required as a way to promote sustainable development at a local level. The co-management model, however, does not stipulate participation by women fishers, important stakeholders who make up almost one-half of all Lao fishers and whose work contributes directly to family nutrition and well-being. Based on fieldwork conducted in fishing villages on the Sekong River in southern Laos in 2013, this paper takes an ecosystems approach to discuss how the country can build resilience and social cohesion into fisheries by incorporating women and their knowledge into village fishery management. In the process, the health of river ecosystems and food security will improve, while women fishers will acquire new skills to help them avoid ‘poverty traps.’ Introduction The concept of resilience is central to effective adaptive management of ecosystems. Developed by ecologist C.S. “Buzz” Holling in the 1970s as a theory for managing complex ecosystems, resilience theory suggests that an ecosystem is resilient if it has the ability to remain cohesive during periods of extreme perturbations or what are called ‘shocks’ (Holling 1973). Rather than “bouncing back” to a former equilibrium, an ecosystem is resilient if it can absorb changes in internal and external variables and still persist, albeit in a somewhat different yet robust form.

  • Pak Mun Dam Case Study
    Introduction: Pak Mun Dam Case Study As part of a two-year work programme to review the development effectiveness of large dams, The World Commission on Dams (WCD) has commissioned TDRI to lead the case study on Pak Mun dam on the Mun river in Thailand’s northeast. Pak Mun was selected as one of the case studies on dams located in major river basins in different regions of the world. The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) started construction of Pak Mun dam in June 1990, and has been operating Pak Mun as a run-of-the-river hydropower project since 1994. TDRI was assigned to re-examine the premises of the underlying economic case for Pak Mun, and to review the project’s justification in the light of material evidence and developments to date bearing on its impact on the environment, in particular on fisheries. WCD’s mandate is to propose a framework for weighing the alternatives in water resources and energy management, and to set internationally acceptable criteria in the planning, design, construction, monitoring, operation and decommissioning of dams. WCD’s final report was released on November 16th, 2000 in London. With the issue of its final report, WCD has completed its mandate and was formally decommissioned. Pak Mun case study was part of the knowledge base which supported the Commission’s conclusions. TDRI’s report, which was submitted to WCD in its final form in March 2000, was previously circulated with other commissioned papers to participants at a stakeholders’ meeting convened by WCD in Bangkok on 23rd February, 2000.
