The Industrial Promotion Department expects 100 factories to join its energy management programme this year, with each one cutting electricity consumption by at least 10%.
So far, 734 factories have participated over the past decade, resulting in a savings of 1.33 billion baht. Half the players taking part are located in and around Bangkok.
