In 2023, EGAT reported total carbon emissions of approximately 100,443,676,790 kg CO2e. This marks an increase from 2022, where emissions were about 97,983,756,710 kg CO2e. The emissions data for 2021 indicates a total of approximately 31,382,304,440 kg CO2e, with a breakdown of 31,371,829,690 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 9,697,230 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 777,520 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. EGAT has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, and there are no SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets reported. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, and all figures are derived directly from the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. The carbon intensity of electricity produced by EGAT has shown a decrease, with a reported carbon dioxide intensity of 512.4 g CO2e per kWh in 2023, down from 549.9 g CO2e per kWh in 2022. This indicates a commitment to improving efficiency and reducing emissions per unit of electricity generated. Overall, while EGAT has made strides in reducing carbon intensity, the lack of specific reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
