Recently, the Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EECO), represented by Dr. Chula Sukmanop, Secretary-General of the EECO, signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Y.S.S.P. Aggregate Co., Ltd. (YSSP), represented by Mr. Yuttachai Phukantamasom, Managing Director, on the provision of clean energy electricity for the Eastern Economic Corridor of Innovation (EECd). The signing ceremony was witnessed by executives from both parties. The cooperation aims to support EEC policies in developing the Eastern Economic Corridor as a new economic base driven by advanced technologies and sustainable development.
The Memorandum of Agreement serves as a policy mechanism to strengthen energy security while promoting the use of clean energy in the industrial sector. It focuses on enhancing the readiness of public utility infrastructure to support investment in digital industries, advanced technologies, and innovation, which are among the country’s targeted industries and key drivers for enhancing Thailand’s long-term competitiveness.
This cooperation reflects the Government’s strategic direction in integrating public–private partnerships to advance EEC development based on balanced economic growth and environmental sustainability. Particular emphasis is placed on supporting the EECd, which has been designated as a strategic area for the development of digital industries and innovation that require a stable, high-quality, and environmentally friendly energy supply.
Under this Memorandum of Agreement, businesses operating in the EECd will gain access to clean energy electricity at appropriate costs, leading to improved operational efficiency and long-term cost reduction. The cooperation also supports ESG-based business practices and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, in alignment with the country’s sustainable development goals and its international commitments on climate change.
The Eastern Economic Corridor Office is confident that this cooperation will serve as a significant starting point for the development of clean energy infrastructure in the EECd and will provide a model for advancing digital industrial and innovation zones under the green economy framework. This initiative is expected to contribute to policy expansion and deliver sustainable benefits to the nation’s economy, society, and environment as a whole.
