Boonyanit Wongrukmit, the newly appointed governor of state-run Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat), vows to reduce bureaucratic hassles and build a more informal atmosphere at work to make Egat more agile in dealing with the fast-changing energy industry.
Mr Boonyanit says Egat officials should call one another by nicknames, not their positions.
Renewable energy and energy storage technologies are expected to be game changers, meaning Egat cannot maintain its traditions and burdensome regulations, he said.
Within a decade, these two technologies may take over electricity generation from fossil fuel-fired power plants, Mr Boonyanit said yesterday.
