Sustainable Energy




EGAT Learning Center
The centre was established by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand to promote public understanding of energy production, electricity security, and sustainable power development. Located both at EGAT’s headquarters in Nonthaburi and at Bang Kruai, the centre reflects Thailand’s long-term Power Development Plan and its transition toward cleaner and more diversified energy sources. The centre was designed as a modern public engagement space to make complex energy systems accessible to students, educators, and the wider community.
Visitors encounter interactive multimedia exhibits explaining how electricity is generated — from conventional thermal and hydropower plants to solar, wind, and emerging smart grid systems. Large-scale models demonstrate how power flows from generation plants through transmission lines to households. Digital simulations allow participants to manage virtual energy supply scenarios, balancing cost, demand, and environmental impact. Guided tours often include learning zones on carbon reduction strategies and Thailand’s renewable energy targets. The Nonthaburi site also features scenic riverside areas and exhibitions on community engagement, making it both an educational and reflective experience for special interest groups.
MEA SPARK Electricity Museum
This museum was created by the Metropolitan Electricity Authority, which is responsible for electricity distribution around Greater Bangkok. The museum’s mission is to enhance public awareness of electrical safety, efficient energy use, and the evolution of urban power systems. The museum bridges technical knowledge with everyday life, explaining how electricity supports homes, transport systems, businesses, and digital infrastructure in Thailand’s capital region.
Inside, visitors explore interactive displays tracing the history of electricity in Bangkok — from early street lighting and tram systems to modern underground cabling and smart meters. Hands-on stations demonstrate electrical circuits, safety practices, and energy-saving technologies. Augmented reality and digital exhibits simulate real-life scenarios such as preventing electrical hazards in homes or responding to outages. Special interest groups can engage in workshops on energy conservation strategies, smart city development, and the role of distribution networks in supporting renewable integration. The museum’s accessible presentation style makes technical infrastructure understandable while reinforcing responsible energy behaviour in daily urban life.
