    Message from the Chairman

  • 17

    We, the EGCO Board of Directors, are thankful for the shareholders continued support. We are committed to

    creating the sustainable shareholders value and treating the stakeholders fairly. This can be achieved by the strong

    commitment to oversee EGCO business with care and diligence and to ensure the full compliance with the spirit of the

    laws.

    The significant events in 2008 to be reported to the shareholders are as follows:

    Power Business The year 2008 is a challenging one. The promising global and domestic economic outlook in the first half year

    turned gloomy in the third quarter due to the impact from the global financial crisis and the domestic political turmoil. The

    slow down in GDP growth had a direct impact on the electricity demand. As at December 31, 2008, the total installed

    capacity of Thailands power system was 29,892 MW while the peak demand was in April at 22,568 MW which was 0.08%

    lower than the peak demand in 2007. Due to the declining power consumption, the Ministry of Energy is in the process of

    revising the PDP 2007 for the second round.

    EGCO Growth As at December 31, 2008, EGCO Group operated 13 power plants with the equity MW of 3,967.6 which accounted

    for 13.27% of the total installed capacity of Thailand. It should be noted that the equity MW of EGCO operating assets

    increased by 458.5 MW from 3,509.1 equity MW in 2007. Significant events were as follows.

    The 755-MW Kaeng Khoi 2 (Block 2) started the pre-commercial operation on February 27, 2008 which was before

    the commercial operation date on March 1, 2008.

    EGCO divested its entire shares in EGCO Joint Venture& Development Company Limited (EGCO JD) while EGCO

    Engineering and Service Co., Ltd. (ESCO) divested all its shares in Amata Power-ESCO Service Co., Ltd which

    provided operation and maintenance services to power plants under EGCO JD on May 15, 2008. The rationales

    were that the assets comprised mature business in which EGCO held minority interests. Disposal of these minority

    assets allowed EGCO to deploy the proceeds and its resources on new investment opportunities with potential for

    expansion and earnings upside.

    EGCO International (BVI) Co., Ltd, EGCOs wholly owned subsidiary, acquired 90% ownership of GPI Quezon Ltd

    shares. This purchase provided EGCO BVI with a 23.4% indirect ownership interest in Quezon Power (Philippines)

    Limited which owned, operated and maintained a 502.5 MW (gross installed capacity) coal fired electric

    generation representing 117.6 equity MW on November 29, 2008. This acquisition was in line with EGCOs business

    plan to invest in power businesses in the ASEAN region.

    EGCO is the first independent power producer that uses diversified fuel for power generation which is in line with the

    Governments policy to foster the reliability of the power generation system. If including the capacity of Nam Theun II

    hydropower plant, EGCOs first hydropower plant, which has the scheduled COD in December 2009, EGCO MW equity will

    increase to 4,239.3 comprising the gas and oil fired power plants, coal fired power plant, hydropower plant and biomass

    power plant which accounts for 73.5%, 19.7%, 6.4% and 0.4% of EGCO capacity, respectively.

    With regard to future growth, although the current economic circumstances are negative for new project

    development, EGCO believes in Thailands potential and views that there is still an opportunity to invest in projects that

    provide acceptable returns. EGCO will seek to invest in operating assets or assets under construction and will continue to

    explore the opportunities to develop renewable energy such as wind, solar and biomass to sustain our leadership and

    strength in the power sector.

    Social and Environment Commitment EGCO Group is well aware that the business growth will go hand in hand with the social and environment

    commitment. As such, EGCO will develop the business in a way that is friendly to the environment and the nearby

    communities taking into account the sustained benefits of all stakeholders. The major social and environment projects in

    2008 were as follows.

    Mitigation of business impact on the environment: The initiatives include the strict adherence to the Governments

    standards and continuous monitoring of the air and noise quality.

    Best and economical use of energy and natural resources: The programs include recycling of water and waste.

    Energy and natural resource conservation including the fight against the global warming: The initiatives include

    fostering awareness on energy and natural resources conservation and reforestation.

    Community Development: The projects include the investment in the community to increase the villagers income.

    EGCO will continue its social and environment commitment. In this regard, EGCO will try its best to reduce the

    impact from its operation on the community and the environment and to extend the initiatives to enhance the quality of

    life of surrounding communities.

    Operating Result The 2008 operating result is in line with the expectation. EGCO posted the net profit of 6,927 million baht

    representing the earnings per share of 13.16 baht. The interim dividend payment from the first half year operation was

    paid at 2.50 baht per share. EGCO is confident that it can maintain the dividend payment at an appropriate and

    consistent rate. In addition, EGCO will endeavor to ensure that the companys financial status remains strong to serve

    future investment.

    Achievements EGCOs strong commitment has been honored by various institutions. For example, EGCO was ranked seventh in

    Thailand for best investor relations and fourth for being most committed to a strong dividend policy in a poll conducted

    by FinanceAsia. In addition, it was ranked eighth for best top ten companies in Thailand and fourth for best public

    companies in power and utility industry in a poll conducted by Finance and Banking Magazine. EGCO also received

    various 2008 SET Awards, being the Top Corporate Governance Report Award from the Stock Exchange of Thailand, best

    Shareholders Award from Thailand Securities Depository Company Limited, and excellent Corporate Governance Report

    Rating from the Thai Institution of Directors. EGCO was also shortlisted as one of the ten shortlisted candidates for CSR

    award.

    EGCO Group power plants were also successful. Khanom Power Plant or KEGCO was awarded the National Safety

    Awards for 2008 for Safety and Occupational Health for the ninth consecutive year and the Outstanding Workplace for

    Labor Relations and Welfare by the Department of Labor Protection and Welfare, Ministry of Labor, for the second

    consecutive year. Meanwhile, Roi Et Green Power Plant was also awarded the Safety Excellence Award in Provincial

    Level

    We realize that all the success has resulted from kindest support and cooperation from stakeholders including

    shareholders, customers, business partners, and the public which enables us to operate efficiently with commitment to

    environment conservation and social development. On behalf of EGCO, I would like to express my gratitude to the

    shareholders and all stakeholders in supporting our business. Your support is the strongest motivation for EGCO Group

    people to further develop our business and to make a fair return to our shareholders while treating other stakeholders fairly

    and ethically for the sustainable benefits of the Thai people.

    We, EGCO Group, will continue our path as a responsible power generator with full will power.

    EGCO : The First Independent Power Producer EGCO is the f i r s t independent power producer in Thai land

    incorporated on May 12, 1992 by Electricity Generating Authority of

    Thailand (EGAT). Such incorporation marked the commencement of

    the Thai governments 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.

    Significant Events EGCOs investment is a long term one. As at December 31, 2008,

    EGCO Group operated 13 power plants with 3,967.60 equity MW which

    accounted for 13.27% of the total installed capacity of Thailand. It should be

    noted that the equity MW of operating assets increased by 458.50 MW from

    3,509.10 equity MW in 2007. Significant events were as follows :

    1. Kaeng Khoi 2, Gulf Power Generations project with the capacity of 755 MW,

    started the pre-commercial operation date on February 27, 2008 which was before the commercial operation

    date on March 1, 2008.

    2. EGCO International (BVI) Co., Ltd., (EGCO BVI) EGCOs wholly owned subsidiary, acquired 90% ownership of GPI

    Quezon Ltd. shares. This purchase provided EGCO BVI with a 23.4% indirect ownership interest in Quezon Power

    (Philippines) Limited Co. which owned, operated and maintained a 502.5 MW (gross installed capacity) coal fired

    electric generation representing 117.6 equity MW on November 29, 2008. This acquisition was in line with

    EGCOs business plan to invest in power businesses in the ASEAN region. The acquisition strengthened EGCOs

    presence in the Republic of the Philippines which should provide opportunities for future growth.

    3. EGCOs divested its entire shares in EGCO Joint Venture & Development Company Limited (EGCO JD) which

    held shares in Amata EGCO Power Co., Ltd. and Amata Power (Bang Pakong) Co., Ltd. on May 15, 2008. The

    divestment reasons was that the assets comprised mature business in which EGCO held minority interests.

    Disposal of these minority assets allowed EGCO to deploy the proceeds and its resources on new investment

    opportunities with potential for expansion and earnings upside.

    4. EGCO Engineering and Service Co., Ltd. (ESCO), EGCOs wholly owned subsidiary, divested all its shares in

    Amata Power-ESCO Services Co., Ltd. which provided operation and maintenance services to power plants

    under EGCO JD on May 15, 2008.

    5. The 1,086.8 MW Nam Theun 2 hydropower plant developed by Nam Theun 2 Power Company Limited

    (NTPC) of which EGCO holds a 25% ownership achieved the overall progress of 95.1% at the end of 2008

    which was as planned. The project was expected to achieve the COD within December 2009 as scheduled.

    Business Lines EGCO businesses can be divided into 4 groups as follows:

    1. Independent Power Producer (IPP) Group: This Group comprises 4 companies being Rayong Electricity

    Generating Co., Ltd., Khanom Electricity Generating Co., Ltd, BLCP Power Limited and Gulf Power

    Generation Co., Ltd. The combined equity MW is 3,528 MW which accounts for 88.92% of EGCOs total

    2. Small Power Producer (SPP)Group: This Group comprises 6 companies being EGCO Cogeneration Co., Ltd.,

    Roi-Et Green Co., Ltd., Gulf Cogeneration Co., Ltd., Nong Khae Cogeneration Co., Ltd., Samutprakarn

    Cogeneration Co., Ltd., and Gulf Yala Green Co., Ltd. The combined capacity is 293.1 equity MW which

    represents 7.39% of EGCOs total operating asset capacity.

    3. Overseas Power Producer Group: This Group comprises 4 companies being Western Mindanao Power

    Corporation, Southern Philippines Power Corporation, Quezon Power (Philippines) and NTPC. The combined

    equity MW (excluding NTPC of which the project is under construction) is 146.5 MW representing 3.69% of

    EGCOs total operating asset capacity.

    Resources Development and Management Public Company Limited

    Details of each project are shown in the table at the end of this report.

    business line is as shown below.

    EGCO as the first IPP put EGCO at advantage in terms of location, qualified workforce and reputation on corporate social

    responsibility which earns the trust from the government and the public at large. Due to limited investment opportunity in

    Thailand over a short term, EGCO adjusts its strategy to invest in quality overseas projects, fuel-related projects and

    domestic renewable energy projects which includes the solar, wind power and biomass plants to maintain its leadership

    and market shares and to strengthen EGCO Group.

    EGCO prudently prepares to cope with volatile situations by way of cost control and expense reduction. EGCO also

    keeps up monitoring the energy and economic circumstances in a bid to foster the appropriate strategy to foster EGCOs

    growth.

    Power Industry and Competition

    The peak demand in 2008 was on April 21, 2008 at 22,568 MW, which was lower than the peak demand recorded

    in 2007 at 22,586 MW or 0.08% decrease from the previous year (figure 1). As of December 31, 2008, the total installed

    capacity of Thailands power system was 29,892 MW. Of that amount, approximately 50% (15,021 MW), 41%(12,152 MW),

    7% (2,079 MW) was owned by EGAT, IPPs, and SPPs while approximately 640 MW or 2% was imported from Laos and

    Malaysia (figure 2)

    During the first half of the year 2008, the worlds economy and the Thais economy were in a good condition.

    However, after the third quarter, Thailand has faced both world economy decline and its political turmoil, which lowered

    the GDP growth. This had a direct impact on the electricity demand. As a result, the Ministry of Energy is revising the PDP

    2007 for the second round and it is now in the process.

    Thailands last round of IPP bidding was ended in December 2007. Four power plant licenses were awarded by the

    Ministry of Energy with a total capacity of 4,400 MW, comprising 3,200 MW from gas fired projects and 1,200 MW from

    coal fired projects. Recently, only GHECO-One has passed the EIA approval process and started construction while the

    rests are waiting for the EIA approval and PPA sign with the tendency to delay the COD to be in line with the economic

    downturn situation.

    Losing an opportunity to invest in projects from the recent round of IPP bidding, EGCO and RATCH are missing out

    on domestic expansion opportunities during 2010-2013. GLOW is the only listed IPP that won a 660 MW coal-fired power

    plant, which is scheduled to commence operation in October 2011.

    With the unpleasant growth outlook in Thailand which limits upside for Thai power company, EGCO and other power

    companies need to adjust the business strategy to expand their investment in neighboring countries such as Lao PDR,

    Myanmar and Cambodia, which will supply electricity back to Thailand, and also on investing in the project relating to

    fuel supply such as LNG. Moreover, EGCO will pursue the investment possibility in renewable energy projects such as wind,

    waste and biomass power plants.
