Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand
 PROFILE
Egad, EGAT, that's a lot of juice. A state enterprise, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) handles Thailand's electricity generation (20,000-MW capacity) and transmission and sells its power to two distributors, Metropolitan Electricity Authority and Provincial Electricity Authority. An Asian leader in promoting energy efficiency, EGAT operates dams, reservoirs, wind turbines, and power plants in Thailand. EGAT is privatizing its giant, gas-fired Ratchaburi plant (4,600 MW) despite vehement protests by workers. It has floated 40% of the plant while keeping 45% and offering 15% to employees. The National Energy Policy Office is preparing for full competition in the power industry by 2003.
