Design and layout: Sawaddh So The opinions and interpretations expressed within are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Mekong River Commission. Foreword The Mekong was always an international river, in the sense that foreigners were always interested in it. Since ancient times, people and goods have moved along this wide brown highway that preceded roads, railways and modern freight containers. As described in many historical accounts, it also provided access to the interior of the Mekong region to generations of conquerors, explorers and traders. The years of turmoil in the Mekong region account for much of the neglect of this major inland waterway in the latter part of the 20th century. -
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). -

There is lack of infrastructure, lack in common understanding, deficiency in technical knowledge, confusion regarding institution, shortage in implementation, lack in trust between two countries and most important lack in sharing of knowledge regarding a delta with same and Public Disclosure Authorized identical physiographic set up supporting life and livelihood of about 10 million people, although in a miserable state of affair, at the same time internationally accepted as a biodiversity hotspot. Things would have been easier with a common pool of knowledge being shared between authorities of Sundarbans in two countries under the umbrella of any institutionalised form with timely and precise intervention for protection of life and livelihood of these 10 million populations and for conservation of this fragile ecosystem. Experiences from other deltas where the river is a common thread between adjacent countries producing natural resources and supporting a sizeable number of populations spreading over different countries may help in framing appropriate strategy for building up a Public Disclosure Authorized common pool of infrastructure -
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. -
