Moreover, TEGH has the business relating to renewable energy and management of organic residues from the production process to produce renewable energy, to create a green economy that can mitigate impact on the environment while generating stable income for the group of companies.
TEGH has a registered paid-up capital of THB 1.08 billion, consisting of 810
million existing common shares and 270 million newly issued shares, with a par
