PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project will be one of the largest power plants in Thailand and will help meet the projected growth and industrial transformation plans under the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) development plan. To support the EEC development plan, substantial investment is needed in social and utility services such as schools, hospitals, water, and electricity. In the future, EEC will become a hub of trade and investment, a center for regional transportation and logistics, a significant source for human resources, a tourist attraction, and the modern gateway to ASEAN, China, and India. Demand for electricity is expected to increase in parallel with growth in tourism, commercial, and industrial activities, and from the influx of residents in search of new employment and better quality of life.
