Gulf Development Best positioned for Thailand‘s next power cycle
s. We believe the market has yet to
fully reflect the scale of potential growth and value from these opportunities.
EVIDENCE Renewable Energy Phase 1 (2023) and Renewable Energy Phase 2 (2025) followed the approval of
PDP 2018 Rev.1, highlighting the historical link between PDP approvals and procurement activity.
GULF secured approximately 33% of renewable PPAs across the last two rounds. GULF is also
developing approximately 163MW of gross data-centre capacity through its existing partnerships and
operates around 9.6GW of equity installed power capacity.
WHAT´S PRICED IN? We believe the market is valuing GULF primarily on its existing earnings and operating assets,
overlooking its future MW opportunities. Adjusted for AIS, KBANK and other non-power
investments, multiple metrics remain near or below historical averages, despite potential emergence
of a 55-70GW capacity cycle. During previous PDP roll-outs and major procurement rounds, investors
re-rated the stock as future MW growth became more visible. We believe a similar re-rating could
occur as PDP 2026 advances, future PPAs become more visible and DC demand materialises.Please
