Gas and cogeneration plants
Khanom gas combined-cycle (710 MW) and KEGCO cogeneration (115 MW) are EGCO's Thai flagship thermal assets with long-term PPAs under EGAT. These provide the stable contracted cash flow underpinning EGCO's dividend-yield profile.
Thai renewables
Solar, wind, and biomass
SPCG (solar), THPC (hydro), and biomass plants contribute to Thailand's renewable segment. EGCO targets 50% clean-energy capacity by 2030 under its EGCO Green strategy, aligned with Thailand's S-Curve energy transition.

Watchpoints 2025-2026
Transition risk
EGCO Green renewable build pace
EGCO's 50% clean-energy capacity target by 2030 requires significant capital deployment in solar, wind, and hydro. PPA award timing under AEDP and Thailand's VSPP scheme determines build pace.
Asset risk
Quezon coal-plant regulatory exposure
Quezon Power (Philippines) is a coal asset facing energy-transition regulatory pressure. Refinancing or early-retirement risk is a medium-term balance-sheet and earnings uncertainty.
