Thailand Launches New Energy Label 5 Programme Targeting Net Zero 2050

The Ministry of Energy, DEDE, and EGAT are elevating the Label 5 programme by introducing five new certified products for 2025, marking 33 years of success in helping the nation conserve over 53 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Energy Minister Eknath Prompan presided over the 'Small Savings to Big Power' launch event at EGAT's headquarters in Nonthaburi province, joined by Prasert Sinsukepresertsak, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Energy; Nanthika Thangsupanich, Director-General of DEDE; and Norin Phaovanitchai, Governor of EGAT, along with executives, business operators, and distinguished guests. The event aims to drive innovative energy conservation measures across all sectors, advancing Thailand's goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Three key highlights of the event include the launch of five new Label 5 products: screw air compressors, low-temperature thermal insulation, refrigeration compressors, rapid freezers and chillers, and floor-type vacuum cleaners. A redesigned Label 5 website now makes it easier for businesses to register and allows consumers to compare the lifetime operating costs of Label 5 products across all efficiency ratings. Recognition awards were presented to over 85 businesses and agencies that have contributed to advancing the programme.

Permanent Secretary Prasert Sinsukepresertsak noted that over 33 years (through September 2025), Label 5 has certified 46 product categories totalling over 592 million units. The energy conservation network, working with government, business, and industry partners across more than 80 organizations, has reduced electricity consumption by approximately 53.18 billion kilowatt-hours, cut thermal energy use by 14.2 petajoules, and prevented the emission of over 29.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.
