Electricity from wind power in Northeast Thailand
High on the northeast plateau of Thailand, this wind power project uses steady hilltop winds to generate clean electricity for the national grid. Instead of burning fossil fuels, tall turbines turn moving air into power.
By cutting carbon emissions, the project helps slow climate change and protect the wild places families love to explore, from forests to coastlines. It’s the same spirit that sits behind every Coddiwomple adventure: travel lightly, tread kindly, and leave room for future journeys. If you’re curious about how your gear can support climate action too, have a look at our shop or dip into the journal for more stories.

the science
Most of Thailand’s electricity still comes from burning fossil fuels like coal and gas. This releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere. As the planet warms, weather patterns shift, affecting crops, wildlife, and the outdoor places families depend on.
how it works
The project installs modern wind turbines that turn moving air into electricity without burning fuel. Power from the turbines feeds into Thailand’s national grid, replacing energy that would have come from fossil fuel plants. Each kilowatt-hour of wind power means fewer emissions and more room for low-impact adventures, much like the choices we make through our Sustainability & Impact work.
