PEA CELEBRATES ITS 59TH ANNIVERSARY WITH ENFORCED ENERGY AND ELECTRICITY INNOVATION TO TRANSFORM AND DRIVE THE ORGANISATION TOWARDS THE GOAL OF “DIGITAL UTILITY”.
The electricity industry is undergoing a disruptive transition, and in need of advanced digital technologies. In transforming the corporation into a “Digital Organisation”, PEA is committed to implementing Electrification Decentralisation & Digitalisation (E2D) to eliminate redundant processes, to boost economic growth and achieve customer satisfaction.
EV INVESTMENT ENSURING SUSTAINABLE MODERN ENERGY
Looking to the future of Electric Utility, PEA is using its expertise to establish an investment fund to install 66 additional EV charging stations throughout the country. In addition to the corporate initiative to provide Thai consumers with affordable and clean energy, PEA has launched “FOMM”, a pioneering EV car offered in a collaboration between PEA ENCOM International Co., Ltd. and FOMM (Asia) Co., Ltd. The clean energy automobiles are equipped with the cutting-edge technologies and specifically designed to operate in tropical climates.
PEA plans to set up EV charging stations at every 100 km. along major roadways throughout Thailand by 2027.
SOARING TO WHIRLWIND SERVICES WITH PEA HERO PLATFORM
To achieve customer satisfaction for ever-changing electricity consumption needs, PEA
is handling an increase in demand for Solar Rooftop panels with “PEA Hero Platform Application”. The application has proven to be a significant digital platform, designed to respond to the modern lifestyle of the Thais.
PEA Solar Hero application lets consumers request a solar rooftop installation that is safe, convenient, certified sustainable, and well worth the money. In addition, the application allows potential users to calculate the estimated cost of the installation, as well as the type and size suitable for designated areas.
Other digital platform applications include PEA HiVE Platform, an enhanced cloud intelligence system for household electricity management which enables users to control room temperature and brightness in their home via mobile phones; PEA VOLTA Platform, a digital platform for PEA that instantly sends electricity to the EV charging stations, which will have amounted to 690 by 2020; and PEA Smart Plus, an application that allows consumers to manage electricity bill payment, meter installation/ re-installation request, outage reports, news & announcements, and cost calculation & notifications.
LIGHTING UP THE COMMUNITY
Although 99% of villages in Thailand are properly wired for electricity, to ensure that many remote villages are distributed with the same quality of electricity as their urban counterpart, PEA has established the country’s first “Microgrid” substation at Khun Pae Village, Chom Thong District in Chiang Mai Province, followed by a similar site at Mae Sariang District in Mae Hong Son Province. The substations are designed to provide sufficient power to meet higher electricity consumption resulting from increasing home appliance usage and farming.
“Smart Grid” is another initiative aimed at providing sufficient electric power to support national-level industry in the EEC and other larger scale industries. The 116,308 smart meters will be installed in Pattaya City in Chon Buri Province by 2020.
PEA ELECTROSPECTIVES
Telecommunication Line Rearranging Project is a nation-wide project initiated by PEA. The project is aimed to remove all unused telecommunication lines and reorganising existing lines onto the crossarms within 2020.
Another initiative launched by PEA, ‘One Tambon, One Electricity Technician Campaign’, provides training for community residents to improve standards of electricity equipment installation and safety.
