This is due to the nature of the power and utilities business which is considered an infrastructure business. Recently, GPSC has signed a public utility deal with PTT Phenol Company Limited (PPCL), a 100% owned subsidiary of PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (PTTGC). GPSC will sell distribute electricity, steam, and hot water to PPCL2, according to this 15-year contract, starting from the date of commercial distribution. The agreed amount is 11.5 MW of electricity, 130 tonnes per hour of steam, and 34 cubic metres per hour of utility water.

Furthermore, high level of management’s professionalism and their strategies to build high growth both in short- and long-term attracts all categories of investors.

GPSC President Mr. Noppadol Pinsupa reveals that “GPSC is committed to be one of the leaders in power and utilities producers and providers in Asia, aiming to build a stronghold of Thailand’s power and utilities in the global level. The proceeds of this IPO will be used to fuel its investment projects both domestically and internationally as well as to secure its working capital. Its short-term goal is to increase its power production capacity, adding 600–1,000 MW within 2019, by investing co-generation and combined cycle power plants as well as adding renewable energy power plants into its portfolio. For long-term, GPSC has a plan to expand into other relating business which would respond to the future needs and trend.” Such ambition portrays the potential of a leap in business expansion.

“In the first quarter of 2015, GPSC’s reports a net profit steeply increased for 444.6%, from 98 million baht to 531 million baht, YoY. While, total revenue was up 30.04%, from 4,978 million baht to 6,473 million baht YoY. Investing in already operating and under construction projects, as stated in our short-term strategy, contributes to such growth. We believe that once those projects fully commence, the return on investment will be very satisfactory. For long-term growth, GPSC will emphasize on big projects and other relating business which will respond to the future trend and demand so as to ensure the sustainable growth,” adds Mr. Noppadol.
