Thailand's power security agency Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) announced that it has expanded the use of AI-powered asset management solutions to all power plants.

The move comprises of baseload and renewable power plants spanning more than one million high-value assets in total.

This shift will aid in driving more accurate and faster power production, prediction, and planning that can help lower the cost of power production and enable EGAT to better support the price for electricity in Thailand.

Paitoon Tangjitruamboon, Assistant Governor Generation, EGAT, said, "EGAT today looks not only at adopting technology to maximize efficiency and minimize capital expenditure, but also at how it can bring benefits to citizens while taking into account the sustainability aspects of asset management and reduced adverse environmental impact. Being able to reduce our power production cost enables EGAT to better support the electricity price for Thailand. In addition, the proven increased production efficiency also leads to the expanded use of IBM's AI-powered asset management system at our hydroelectric and solar power plants. This drive towards clean energy practice will help EGAT reduce carbon footprint and achieve our environmental sustainability goals."

Surarit Wuwong, Country Manager, IBM Thailand's Technology Group, said, "Organizations today must be equipped with fast and accurate asset monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities, with unified data and all the relevant devices being integrated in real time. Most importantly, sustainability aspects should be included into an investment decision. EGAT today is leading the way, not only in Thailand but also in ASEAN, with three imperatives for modern asset management: scalable, sustainable and real-time inspection and monitoring anywhere, anytime, on any device."
