Dr. Twarath Sutabutr, Inspector General, Ministry of Energy said: “ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week 2020 is a side of the regional most comprehensive exhibition we’ve never seen before since the exhibition needs to adapt to match the new-normal lifestyle, health guidelines and regulations under the spread of COVID-19. The exhibition aims to raise awareness of the efficient use of energy and to gather together the latest sustainable energy innovations. This year the Ministry of Energy will host the seminar, one of the highlight events of the exhibition, on 25 September, titled “International Conference – Rural Electrification: International Experience and Development in Thailand”. The seminar will inform participants about off-grid electrical technology for remote areas. Attendance will be available both offline and as an online virtual seminar.”

Mr. Patana Sangsriroujana, Deputy Governor Strategy, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) said: “EGAT is constantly working with the latest technologies and innovations to develop projects and work toward the main objective of generating electricity for our fast-changing world while taking society, community, and the environment into consideration.”

“This year is the first time that EGAT is participating in the ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week 2020. EGAT will be hosting a 120 square metres of exhibition space for researches and innovations under the theme “EGAT’s E-mobility”. EGAT sees the importance of electric vehicles (EV) in the future and decided to study prototypes of electric vehicles supporting the government’s EV policy. EGAT also decided to promote the use of the different electric vehicles such as cars, buses, motorcycles, and boats, along with EV charging stations and other charging infrastructures.”

“EGAT is managing EV electricity consumption in response to the government’s policy and to support achievement of EGAT’s vision, namely, ‘Innovate Power Solutions for a Better Life’. EGAT believes that by working on EVs, it is developing the country and creating a better life for Thai people.
