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, and from 2021, which recorded approximately 96,310,701,370 kg CO2e. The emissions data for 2020 indicates a total of about 31,586,257,970 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for approximately 31,586,257,970 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at about 9,050,515 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 5,499,000 kg CO2e. EGAT has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from any parent organisation. The emissions data is sourced directly from the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, reflecting its operational impact on climate change. The organisation has not set any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or made any formal climate pledges. The carbon intensity of electricity produced by EGAT has shown a slight improvement over the years, 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 and 535.6 g CO2e per kWh in 2021. This indicates a gradual effort towards reducing emissions per unit of electricity generated, although overall emissions have increased. EGAT's commitment to addressing climate change remains a critical focus, particularly as it navigates the challenges of increasing energy demands while striving for sustainability.
