Gulf Energy, Thailand’s largest private power producer, has ramped up investments in telecommunications and digital infrastructure in recent years, leveraging the resulting electricity demand to accelerate the development of low-carbon energy.

Following its merger with telecom company Intouch, analysts project the company could achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% over the next five years, potentially influencing Thailand’s national climate targets.

Thai energy and telecom leaders unite for green push

Founded in 2011, Gulf Energy originated from Gulf Holding (GHC) and brings over three decades of experience in the power sector. The company has shifted from coal-fired power toward lower-carbon natural gas and renewable energy. Across both operational and development-phase projects, Gulf’s domestic and international portfolio now exceeds 23 GW in installed capacity.
