- Banpu Power Public Company Limited (BPP.BK) is a leading independent power producer in Thailand, developing, owning, and operating electricity generating facilities powered by coal, natural gas, solar, wind, and biomass sources. The company offers power generation services through long-term power purchase agreements with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA); renewable energy solutions including solar photovoltaic projects and wind farms; energy management services such as operations and maintenance for power plants; and emerging businesses in battery energy storage systems and green hydrogen production. Banpu Power operates across Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, China, and Australia, targeting utility-scale power supply to national grids and industrial customers in the Asia-Pacific region.
Founded in 2015 as a spin-off from Banpu Public Company Limited, the company maintains its headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand, with key subsidiaries including Banpu Power Vietnam Co., Ltd., Banpu Power Public (Lao) Co., Ltd., and Banpu Next Century Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. It segments its business into thermal power, renewable energy, and emerging growth areas, serving primarily state-owned utilities and large industrial off-takers.
In recent developments, Banpu Power expanded its renewable portfolio through the commercial operation of the 140 MW Sop Khem solar project in Thailand in 2024 and secured a 20-year power purchase agreement for the 168 MW Kaeng Krachan solar-wind hybrid project. The company formed a strategic partnership with Gulf Energy Development Plc for joint development of gas-fired power plants in Vietnam in early 2025 and acquired a 49% stake in the 600 MW Van Phong 1 coal-fired power plant to bolster its thermal capacity. Additionally, Banpu Power launched its first battery energy storage system pilot project in Thailand and announced plans for green hydrogen production facilities in Laos, reflecting a major strategic shift toward net-zero emissions by 2050 amid Thailand's energy transition policies.
