From Home to the World: KTC FIT Talk 19 Unites Partners to Drive Clean Energy Solutions Toward Net Zero

Ms. Charuwan Phipatana-phuttapanta, Senior Professional Scientist and Head of the Monitoring and Evaluation Group, Solar Energy Development Division, Department of Alternative Development and Efficiency, stated,  “Thailand is targeting carbon neutrality by 2050 and aims to raise the share of renewable energy to 50% by 2037. Household participation is crucial—every home is a foundation for change. Sustainability is no longer something we should do, but something we must do, affordable energy and a better quality of life. Government energy policy is therefore designed to align environmental and economic goals, creating shared value for consumers, businesses, and communities. The government is committed to supporting household solar adoption through higher safety standards, streamlined permitting, tax incentives, and public education for both technicians and consumers.”

Ms. Amnuayporn Prakobnoppakao, Executive Vice President – Solar Business of Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited (GULF), emphasized that “”Sustainability is at the heart of our strategy. Every additional megawatt generated from clean energy directly benefits households and businesses through more efficient power use and reduced environmental impact. GULF is committed to increasing the share of renewable energy to over 40% of our total capacity by 2035 and achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. GULF1 and our integrated solar brand ‘One Sunday’ have a clear roadmap to make rooftop solar adoption a truly ‘simple decision’ for every household, with trusted safety, standardized installation, and real-time monitoring of electricity savings. ‘One Sunday’ is not just a solar solution, but a way to bring families greater happiness—where every day at home feels like a ‘Sunday’ or a ‘Family Day,’ free from the worry of rising electricity costs. In addition, GULF1 has partnered with diverse allies such as AIS, enabling wider customer access through AIS Shops nationwide, and KTC, our strong financial partner, to offer flexible payment options that make rooftop solar both practical and cost-effective in the long run. These efforts reflect our unwavering commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and value-driven solar rooftops for everyone.”

Mr. Krirk Yimpronpipatpon, Smart Residential Director of SCG Living and Housing Solution Company Limited, stated, “SCG is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050, with ESG principles at the heart of our operations. Sustainability is no longer a luxury—it’s a new cost framework for homes. Energy-efficient materials and systems not only reduce electricity bills but also improve air quality and comfort. Our ONNEX platform integrates solar power, cooling, and air purification systems, all connected through the Smart Living Plus app, creating a truly smart and sustainable home. This reflects our belief that a smart home is not just about technology, but about enhancing quality of life while reducing carbon emissions.”

Mr. Rakpong Aroonwatdhana, Senior Vice President – Investor Relations, Strategy and Sustainability, Home Product Center Public Company Limited, stated, “Sustainability is not an add-on—it’s a core strategy in delivering comprehensive Home Solutions & Living Experience. Thai consumers are becoming more conscientious, seeking brands that reflect environmental and social values alongside price and quality. HomePro is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050 through our ‘Lifetime Eco-System,’ which integrates sustainability across the entire product and service lifecycle— start from the purchasing of the products, delivery and installation, repair when its needed and after-sales care, all for Better Living. We are reducing environmental impact across the supply chain, expanding clean energy use, and promoting responsible waste management. Our ‘Trade In’ initiative has already collected over 300,000 used appliances, which are processed into new circular products. In 2025, we will expand our circular products range with more than 8,000 new items, aiming to generate 20% of total sales from sustainable products by 2030. HomePro serves as a bridge between manufacturers and consumers, making the Circular Economy a reality in every home—For Better Living.”

On the environmental front, KTC has reduced over 110,000 kg of CO₂ emissions—equivalent to planting more than 12,000 trees—through initiatives such as fully digital shareholder meetings and the adoption of e-Applications, e-Statements, and e-Payments.
