Reader Briefing

Thailand integrates its energy efficiency labels into a unified 'No.5 Energy Efficiency Label' to promote energy conservation and carbon neutrality.

•Thailand has unified the 'No.5 Energy Saving Label' from the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and the 'High Efficiency Energy Saving Label' from the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Conservation (DEDE) into a single 'No.5 Energy Efficiency Label'.
•This consolidation aims to create a unified national energy label, making it easier for consumers to understand and choose energy-efficient products.
•The new label incorporates 6 energy efficiency levels, electricity cost per year, performance data, CO2 emissions reduction information, a QR code for more details, and an eco-friendly symbol.
•Products bearing the new label are already available, covering 45 daily items, with plans to expand the range in the future.
•The initiative supports Thailand's goals of achieving carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions by 2050.

Overview

•In late 2025, the 'No.5 Energy Saving Label' and the 'High Efficiency Energy Saving Label' were merged into the 'No.5 Energy Efficiency Label'.
•The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Conservation (DEDE), under the Ministry of Energy, merged their energy labels.
•The merger was initiated to create a single, unified national energy label, thereby simplifying consumer choices and enhancing energy conservation efforts.
•The 'No.5 Energy Efficiency Label' aims to drive the country towards energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
•The new 'No.5 Energy Efficiency Label' provides a dual guarantee ('Save and Save') encompassing all energy standards under the Ministry of Energy.
•Consumers can now easily identify energy-efficient products, leading to reduced electricity bills and a smaller environmental footprint.
•The new 'No.5 Energy Efficiency Label' is currently applied to 45 everyday electrical appliances and products, with future expansion planned.
•Products featuring the new 'No.5 Energy Efficiency Label' are now available for purchase, with plans to increase the number of covered products.
