00:00Welcome to Sustaination.

00:02Have you ever worried about rising electricity bills?

00:05Or the ever-changing cost of fuel?

00:07Today, those challenges are about to change

00:10through the Quick Big Win Energy Initiative,

00:12a national fast-track policy designed to cut costs

00:16and increase income for people and farmers across Thailand.

00:20It begins with the solar-powered water pumping project for agriculture,

00:24more than 1,200 systems nationwide,

00:27supporting over 112,000 hectares of farmland.

00:31Farmers can now pump water for free, all year round,

00:35saving up to 15,000 baht per household annually,

00:38while reducing over 600,000 tons.

00:42Next, the Community Solar Farm Program,

00:45turning sunlight into sustainable income.

00:48More than 300 communities across the country

00:51can now sell electricity directly to the state,

00:54generating over 3 billion baht in local revenue annually

00:58and cutting greenhouse gas emissions by around 800,000 tons per year.

01:02You don't have to own a farm to take part.

01:05Every household can install solar rooftops,

01:08saving 800 to 1,500 baht per month on electricity bills

01:13and receiving tax deductions of up to 200,000 baht.

01:17Together, Thai households help reduce electricity consumption

01:21by over 585 million kilowatt-hours annually

01:25and lower CO2 emissions by another 280,000 tons per year.

01:30Another source of pride for EGIT,

01:32the Hydro Floating Solar Hybrid Project,

01:35a groundbreaking innovation that combines solar power and hydropower

01:39with a total capacity of 1,600 megawatts.

01:43This hybrid system helps lower national energy costs

01:47and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 800,000 tons each year.

01:51But the quick big win doesn't stop here.

01:54It marks the beginning of Thailand's clean energy transition.

01:58The nation is moving toward the net-zero 2050 target

02:02through the new Power Development Plan, PDP,

02:06which increases the share of renewable energy,

02:09drives more than 700 billion baht in investment

02:12and creates tens of thousands of new jobs across the country.

02:16Because every ray of light is power.

02:19Every project is the future of our nation.

02:22And every drop of water behind the dam

02:24is clean energy for the people of Thailand.
