Energy Efficiency Management

Apart from business benefits, improvement of energy consumption efficiency also has positive impacts on the environment. EGCO Group has continually implemented energy conservation projects within the organization to enable efficient energy consumption in the company. These projects often involve actions to reduce the amount of energy use, such as changing light bulbs, cleaning gas turbine blades at Banpong Utilities Power Plant, and arranging the “Go Walk Go Green” activity to encourage employees to use the stairs instead of the elevator at EGCO Tower. Furthermore, investments in innovation or R&D to decrease energy consumption are considered essential. EGCO Group has developed and implemented a Performance Monitoring System at several power plants to closely monitor various parameters, create a database, and use the data to plan for energy conservation.

To ensure continuous improvement, EGCO Group regularly evaluates the progress in reducing energy consumption. The use of clean or green energy is promoted through installing solar panels on the rooftops of substation buildings at Chaiyaphum Wind Farm to generate and utilize clean energy instead of purchasing electricity. In addition, EGCO Group also provides energy efficiency training to all employee levels to raise awareness and engagement to reduce energy consumption in each and every step of the production and operation process. The focus is to create an organizational culture where everyone actively participates in using energy efficiently and sustainably across all EGCO operations, including EGCO Tower, Khanom Power Plant, and Banpong Utilities Power Plant.
