Ratch Pathana Energy Public Company Limited, established in 1996, operates primarily in the energy sector within Thailand. Initially known as Sahacogen (Chonburi) Public Company Limited, it underwent a name change in April 2024 to better reflect its broadened focus and partnership within the energy domain. As part of the Ratch Group Public Company Limited family, Ratch Pathana Energy has positioned itself as a key player in the generation and distribution of electric power and steam. The company's headquarters are located in Chonburi, Thailand, indicating its strategic focus on serving the Thai market with sustainable and efficient energy solutions.
The company operates a cogeneration power plant capable of producing around 214 megawatts of electricity and 96 tons of steam per hour. Cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP), allows for the simultaneous production of electricity and heat from a single fuel source, resulting in higher efficiency and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional power generation methods.
With a commitment to sustainable energy, Ratch Pathana Energy runs a biomass power plant that has the capacity to generate 17.1 megawatts of electricity and 28 tons of steam per hour. Biomass plants convert organic materials into power, significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions and making use of renewable resources that would otherwise be considered waste.
The company has also invested in solar energy, operating a solar power plant with a capacity of 3 megawatts. This venture into solar power reflects the company’s initiative towards harnessing renewable energy sources, contributing to energy diversification and sustainability.
Beyond energy production, Ratch Pathana Energy engages in plantation services and the bio charcoal business, further emphasizing its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable business practices. These activities complement its core business by promoting the use of renewable resources and sustainable energy.
