Visit to Bang Pakong Power Plant

On 2 August, a group of students and lecturers from all faculties visited the Power plant at Bang Pakong. The visit was organised by the Engineering faculty, but other interested students were able to benefit from the visit too.

Bang Pakong is EGAT’s largest power plant with an installed capacity of 3,670MW. The first plant started operation in 1980, and now supplies about 15% of Thailand’s electricity demand. There are a total of eight power plants on the site with another block (steam and combined power) under construction.

The photos show the students and lecturers at the plant, with the staff from EGAT who kindly showed us around.
