The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Électricitié du Laos, Chiyoda Corporation of Japan, and Mitsubishi Company Ltd. of Thailand to study the use of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for importing renewable energy from Laos, officially the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, into Thailand.
The renewable energy, particularly hydropower generation, is expected to be used in potential locations across Thailand to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia. EGAT indicated that partnering with Laos, Chiyoda, and Mitsubishi will support regional clean energy development and will contribute to the goals of Carbon Neutrality and Net Zero Emissions in Thailand.
