(Bangkok--May 7, 2013) Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) joins forces with IMPACT Exhibition Management and MEX Exhibitions from India, to stage the LED Expo Thailand 2013, gathering electrical industrial entrepreneurs and promoting LED lighting to reduce global warming. More than 500 international brands from over 200 companies across the world will showcase cutting-edge LED products, seminars and workshops to promote the use of efficient LED lighting in Thailand.

Mr. Sutat Patmasiriwat, Governor of EGAT said “nowadays, Thailand's energy consumption is   critically high. EGAT has been very concerned about this. March 28, 2013, national energy consumption was 26,423 megawatts. It is expected to reach 27,000 megawatts by the end of next year. To cope with this challenge, EGAT, therefore, launched the LED Lighting Campaign in 2013 as a key project to encourage all relevant parties to take part in reduction of energy consumption”.

“According to this project, EGAT develops and introduces a number of implementations beginning with energy-efficiency label No.5 for LED lighting (MR 16 type). This labeling program will soon be implemented following by other categories throughout next year.  This is expected to reduce the electricity usage which will benefit to the reduction of national energy consumption and the reduction of global warming in the future”.

"LED Expo Thailand 2013 is another key activity that aims to encourage high quality product usage to reduce energy consumption in all levels both domestically and internationally. EGAT joins forces with IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd. and MEX Exhibitions from India to organize this grand event during May 23 -25 at Hall 3-4, IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center, Bangkok. I would like to welcome all visitors and delegates to experience this grand exhibition. In the event, there will be seminars and exhibitions to share LED technology, key specifications and how to use it, plus the benefits from using LED lightings, compared with the old ones. Importantly, visitors will also enjoy many activities at booths which are well-prepared by EGAT and other exhibitors," EGAT governor recommends.

Ms. Supawan Teerarat, Exhibition Director of TCEB, said that “LED Expo Thailand 2013 is the international exhibition on LED lighting products and technology for lighting industry professionals to connect and explore new business opportunity.  There is lucrative opportunity for business expansion for LED market in the world due to the growing issue of urbanization, population rise and climate change particularly in ASEAN where it is advocated by many infrastructure development projects throughout the region by both government and private sector.  With the strategic location of Thailand at the center of ASEAN and the proximity to GMS sub-region, Thailand has provided competitive advantage for the business opportunity in this region.  TCEB as a government agency, has strongly rendered full supports to LED Expo Thailand 2013 with international marketing support to lure international participants such as ‘Buyer Appreciation Program’ to attract buyers from around the globe and visitor promotion to attract associations, federations, and chamber of commerce targeting ASEAN plus six countries. 

"TCEB strongly believes that LED Expo Thailand 2013 is a key platform that supports the achievements of local and international entrepreneurs in the LED industry in line with the boost of Thai economy. The success of this event also affirms and propels the positioning of Thailand as Exhibition Platform for ASEAN," Ms. Supawan added.
