The previous year has been another year of challenge for the business sector. Although the global economy begins to recover from the economic crisis that has prevailed over the past three years, Thailand has experienced an economic upturn owing to the domestic demand with successive increases in private investment and consumption, and exports. Nonetheless, there has still been an impact caused by political instability, overall higher expenditure on energy, and flooding at the end of the year.
As regards the energy situation, particularly that of the power generating business, in 2011, the government sector has set up a 20-year plan in developing the country’s electric power productivity from 2010 to 2030. According to this plan, the emphasis will be placed on the security of the electric power system, dissemination of energy sources in producing electricity, and the use of renewable energy for the Green PDP plan to be in accordance with the 15-year Renewable Energy Development Plan of the Ministry of Energy as well as to enhance efficient energy consumption, and to promote efficient production of electricity using cogeneration.
The Electricity Generating Public Company Limited or the EGCO Group is determined to develop the organization, progressing and strengthening under good corporate governance with an awareness of the best interests of every stakeholder. To achieve sustainable growth as the first independent power producer in Thailand, in 2011, the Company adjusted its strategies in expanding investments in the energy business, both in Thailand and the ASEAN region, as well as investing in projects related to the use of energy of different forms or natural energy such as hydroelectric power, solar power and wind power. In addition to the management of existing projects, the Company is constantly searching for quality projects with good returns in the future and at an acceptable level of risk. The knowledge base regarding the energy market, investment opportunities and governance structure in the ASEAN countries has been continually developed in order to achieve the integrated business of the EGCO Group; covering the upstream - the energy business - and the downstream - the future electricity production and distribution business - in order to preserve our market share as the leading energy company, and to consistently strengthen the financial status and the operating results of the EGCO Group.
In the previous year, the EGCO Group purchased more shares from the Quezon Power (Philippines) Co., Ltd., the owner of the Quezon coal-fired Power Plant, acquiring a further 26.125 %, making the EGCO Group hold total shares of 52.125% in Quezon. In addition, the EGCO Group purchased shares from Xayaburi Power Co., Ltd (XPCL) accounting for 12.50% of the whole shares, to be part of the development of the Xayaburi Power Plant Project, a hydroelectric power plant in dam in Laos. Furthermore, in 2010 the EGCO Group was selected to be the small power producer responsible for three projects, on a firm contract basis, using cogeneration by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) according to the resolution of the Energy Regulatory Commission. Each project supplies 90 megawatts covering the period of 25 years. The Company and EGAT have already signed the sale contract.

Moreover, the Lopburi Solar project by Natural Energy Development Co.,Ltd (NED), in which the EGCO Group holds 33.33% of the shares, has commenced producing and distributing electricity to EGAT for phase one, accounting for eight megawatts. The contract will be complete in mid-2012. This is a solar power plant using solar cell technology on the largest thin film in the world with a productivity of 55 megawatts.
With all these examples of progress, in 2011 the EGCO Group had a total of 15 power plants in operation, accounting for the ratio of productivity to shareholding at 4,419.97 megawatts - 58.95 megawatts more when compared to 2010. Of this number, 3,864.19 megawatts was distributed to EGAT. When compared to the country’s total productivity of 31,446.71 megawatts, this comprises 12.29 % of the country’s total productivity. The EGCO Group is a power producer producing electricity from a great variety of types of energy, in compliance with the policy of the government sector in disseminating energy consumption to promote energy security.
As regards the 2011 operating results, the Company obtained a net profit of 4,990 million baht, or a net profit of 9.48 baht per share. However, if not taking into account the impact caused by the exchange rate and the expense of special circumstances - the EGCO Group would have gained a net profit of 6,049 million baht. In total, the EGCO Group owns property worth 72,956 million baht and paid dividend from the operating results of the first half of 2011 at 2.50 baht per share. The Company is certain that the dividend payment will continue to remain at a satisfactory and appropriate level.
The EGCO Group, aware of the sustainability of the environment and society in general as the foundations of success of every enterprise, adheres to operating under the vision of “conserving the environment and developing society” by fostering and reducing any impact caused by business operations alongside enhancing competency and collaboration with every sector in continually developing the environment and society. Moreover, staff are encouraged to take part in such operations on a regular basis. The Company believes that it will help strengthen capacity and work skills as well as instill public-mindedness in EGCO employees, making them become quality personnel within the organization in addition to being civil-minded citizens in society. Bearing this in mind, projects for community and society are operated in a progressive manner covering three aspects: the promotion and development of quality of life in community, the conservation of the environment and natural resources, and the promotion of learning about the environment and creating public-mindedness among youth.
With its determination to move the Company forward, in 2011 the EGCO Group received recognition from a number of sectors. The Company was ranked tenth for best listed companies of the year, fourth for best companies in the energy and public utilities category, fifth for the best companies in Thailand as regards net profit to total revenue according to the ranking conducted by Money and Banking Magazine. Furthermore, the Company received the ‘Top Corporate Governance Report Awards’ and ‘Corporate Social Responsibility Awards’ for the companies listed in Stock Exchange of Thailand with over 10,000 million baht worth of stocks at the stock exchange price at the SET Awards 2011 organized by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and Money and Banking Magazine.

“...EGCO is a holding company, its main source
of revenue is from the dividend income from subsidiaries and share of profits from joint
ventures...”
62 Annual Report 2011 Electricity Generating Public Co., Ltd.
55-01-084-001-152,217-228_Y Eng-62 62 3/9/12 3:31:24 PM
The Electricity Generating Public Company Limited or EGCO is the first independent power producer in Thailand incorporated on May 12, 1992 by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). Such incorporation marked the commencement of the Thai government’s privatization initiatives to allow broader private sector investment in the electricity generating sector. On March 23, 1994, EGCO was transformed into a public company and then listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) on January 16, 1995.
Since EGCO is a holding company, its main source of revenue is from the dividend income from subsidiaries and share of profits from joint ventures which are located in both Thailand and the Asian region. EGCO Group companies either operate in the power sector with long term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) or conduct other related business.
Business Lines
EGCO businesses can be categorized into 4 groups as follows :
1. IndependentPowerProducer(IPP) Group : This Group comprises 4 power plants being Rayong Power Plant, Khanom Electricity Generating Co., Ltd., BLCP Power Ltd., and Gulf Power Generation Co., Ltd. The combined megawatt equity is 3,453 megawatt which accounts for 78.12% of EGCO’s total asset capacity. The combined megawatt equity is less than last year by 75 megawatt due to the expiration of PPA of Khanom power plant Unit 1on June 19, 2011.

The combined capacity is 295.73 megawatt equity, representing 6.69% of EGCO’s total asset capacity. The combined megawatt equity is more than the last year by 2.67 megawatt due to Commercial Operation Date (COD) of the first stage of Lopburi Solar power plant on December 22, 2011.
3. OverseasPowerProducerGroup: This Group comprises 4 power plants being Western Mindanao Power Corporation, Southern Philippines Power Corporation, Quezon Power (Philippines) Ltd., Co., in Philippines and Nam Theun 2 Power Co., Ltd., in Lao PDR. The combined megawatt equity is 671.24 megawatt, representing 15.19% of EGCO’s total asset capacity. The combined megawatt equity is higher than last year by 131.28 megawatt due to the additional acquisition of 26.125% interest in Quezon Power (Philippines) Ltd.,Co., on March 25, 2011.

EGCO’s Competitiveness
EGCO is the first independent power producer in Thailand. EGCO is a holding company with investment in power generation and supply pass subsidiaries and Joint Venture Companies. As a prototype privatization, EGCO has enjoyed several privileges initiated to encourage the private sector’s participation which makes EGCO to possess advantage in view of the following
1. EGCO is creditable among the financial source and investors.
2. EGCO’s personnel are transferred from EGAT, which is the country’s sole source of personnel in power industry, thus contributing to efficient operations. Its rivals, which are just set up, on the contrary, need to recruit personnel that may have no enough expertise or be costly or take time for training.
Opportunity of new entrants
At present, the opportunity for new entrepreneurs, especially the international power company, to enter this industry is possible. However, there are several obstacles due to the following :
1. Investment capital restriction : Power plant construction needs huge investment capital New entrants must have a very strong financial position.
2. Human resource restriction : Personnel with expertise in this area is scarce, so recruitment is difficult and costly.
Currently, it is possible for potential international power companies to play more roles in Thailand’s power industry.

• Directors must not provide to anyone any information which is not publicly available and which would have a material effect on the price or value of EGCO’s securities.
Employees
• Employees shall at all times observe the rules and regulations issued by the SET, the SEC and other governing laws which include the equitable disclosure to shareholders and the public.
• Any information disclosure to the public that will affect the business and EGCO’s stock must be approved by the President. Only the President or the assigned staff member is authorized to disclose such information.

However,theenvironmentoftheprojectandtheprojectitself are the risk factors of project development caused by uncertainty and business competition which can occur regularly.
To ensure the success of project development, EGCO BusinessDevelopment Teamhas analyzedand identified thekeyrisksinvolved.Theseincludeeconomic,political,and social policies of target countries, economic situation, financial costs, as well as machine, equipment, and construction costs.Moreover, compliancewith laws and regulations to prevent environmental, social,and health impactsareconcernedaswell.
EGCOhaspreparedriskmitigationmeasures.Forinstance, fundamentalanalysisoftargetcountrieswasconductedby gatheringnecessaryinformationsuchasPowerDevelopment Plan(PDP),electricityandtaxstructure.Projectinformation such as factors of electricity generating will be studied to appraisewhethertheprojectsarefeasiblewithacceptable costandcompetitiveprices.
Besides the project feasibility, EGCO also set up the mechanisms and process to review and scrutinize new investment. Suchmechanisms include the reviewby EGCOManagementCommitteewhichcompriseEGCO’stop management, and the InvestmentCommitteewhich is the Board’scommitteetoensurethatallmaterialrisksareidentified andmanaged. Thecommitteeswill also review themajor conditionsoftheShareholders’Agreementsuchasdividend policy,rightstoauditbeforesubmittingthoseagreementsfor theBoard’sconsideration.
2. OperationalRisks
2.1 Risk of Failure to Get Target Return on Investment
EGCOhastheresponsibilitytoproperlymonitorandmanage itsinvestmentinordertoreachorexceedtargetedreturnon investment.Withoutefficientmechanismtomanageinvestment assets,EGCOmaynotget returnon investmentat target. Typicalmeasuresimposedtomitigaterelevantrisksareas follows:
• Establishassetmanagementpoliciesand,wherepossible, assign management and staffs to be EGCO Group representatives’directorsormanagementofitssubsidiaries andinvestmentprojects.
• Monitor operating performances of each facility and analyzetheactualreturnoninvestmentagainsttheplanned target.
• Prepareregularprogressreportstoseniormanagement andtheBoardofDirectorssothatatimelyandappropriate action can be taken. The exceptional operating performanceistobereportedaswell.
• Coordinate with partners for joint-audit in investment companiestoensuretheadequacyandeffectiveofinternal controlsystem.
With these actions, EGCO will achieve target return on investment.According to the2010operatingperformance report,theincomesfromEGCO’sportfoliohavebeenreceived inlinewithmodeledresults.
2.2 Plant Performance Risks
Acommitmenttogenerateanddeliverelectricitypursuantto aPPAwithEGATentails theperformanceriskswhichmay causedbystaff,equipmentandmanagementapproach.The significantperformancerisksareassummarizedbelow:
(1)PlantEfficiency
TherearevariousefficiencybenchmarksunderaPPAwith EGATi.e.,EquivalentAvailabilityFactor(EAF)andHeat Rates.Failure tomeet theseperformancerequirements wouldresultinpenaltiesandpotentialterminationincertain extremecases.
Thecauseofsuchriskmaybepowerplantaging.With consistent, professional maintenance being a policy in place for each of EGCO Group’s power plants, this riskisconsideredtobelow.Despitethat,themanagement hasestablishedsystematicprocedurestoensurethatall relevantperformancetargetsaremet.Theseprocedures areasfollows:
131
55-01-084-001-152,217-228_Y Eng-131 131 3/9/12 3:59:23 PM
- To include thekeyplantefficiencyparameters in the CorporateKeyPerformanceIndicatorsofpowerplantsin theEGCOgroupinordertoensurethattheproduction efficiencyiscloselymonitoredandallemployeestake partintheplantefficiency.
- TosetupEarlyWarningSystemsforcriticalinformation regardingtheplantoperationprocesses.
- Toensurethatthescheduledpreventivemaintenance ofpowerplantequipment iscarriedoutona regular basisbyqualifiedstaff.
- Toensurethatsparepartinventoryisadequateandwell managed.
- To implement theQualityManagement System (ISO :9001:2008)toensurethatthosepowerplantsoperate inaccordancewiththetermsoftheirPPAs
- Tocontinuouslydevelopthecompetenciesofthefirms’ humanresources.
With consistent operation along with these mitigation actions,thechanceofthisriskislow.
(2)RawWaterShortageforElectricityGenerating

WithPTTand/orEGATbeing themainsuppliers, the risksoffuelgasshortageisconsideredlow.
- EGCOGroup’scoalfirepowerplants“BLCPandQuezon”, whichcontributed36%of 2010 total electricity sales revenues,havelongtermCoalSupply&Transportation Agreement. The suppliersmust supply coalwith the quantity and quality as specified in the agreement. Efficient coal reserve management is a significant measurewhichcanreducethistypeofriskaswell.

(4)SafetyHealthEnvironmentandSocial
EGCO realizes that the electricity generating process which uses natural gas and coal as primary fuels will have certain impacts on the safety, environment and qualityoflifeofemployeesandsurroundingcommunities. Thecauseofriskcanarisefromtheinefficiencyofpower plant or the inadequatemeasurement.Consequently, EGCO has taken the following actions to mitigate any potential negative impactsand reduce the likelihood of suchrisksasfollows:
- Developand livebyEGCOgroup’sCorporateSocial Responsibilitypolicy
- Develop Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) ManagementManual for all EGCO owned plant as guidelinesforimplementationandaudit.
- Prepare the work manuals and emergency plan, implementtrainingplanandtestingofplan,equipment andwarningsystemwhileensuringstrictcompliance withthemanual.
- Developa listofgoverning lawsandregulationsand designateresponsiblepersontomonitorthecompliance withrelatedlaws.
- MonitorandensurethecompliancewithSHEManagement Manual
Bycomplyingwiththeabovemeasuresregularly,wecan beensuredthatthisrisklikelihoodisquitelow.
