The total solar power generation of Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon amounts to 1,163,372.95 kWh/year.
Apart from solar power for electronic generation, the university also utilizes the solar power for hot water boiling with the capacity of 36,500 kWh/year.
Electricity Usage per Year (in Kilowatt hour)
The total electricity usage of Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon (RMUTP) during April 2025 to March 2026 is 7,471,408.67 kWh. On the five main centers (campuses) areas of RMUTP, electricity is used for lighting, cooling, heating, office’s and laboratory’s appliances. The total university’s population is 12,000 persons, hence, the electricity usage per person in all campuses is 622.62 kWh.
Ratio of renewable energy production divided by total energy usage per year
Total electricity usage from April 2025 to March 2026 is 7,471,408.67 kWh.
Total of renewable electricity production is 1,413,823.02 kWh/year.
Ratio of renewable energy production divided by total energy usage per year
Renewable Electricity usage = (1,413,823.02 /7,471,408.67) *100 = 18.92 %

Electricity-use monitoring
EV Charing station
Campaigns
Safe pedestrian pathways
Description:
Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon (RMUTP) has implemented formal greenhouse gas emission reduction programs covering all three emission scopes: direct emissions from university operations, indirect emissions from purchased electricity, and other indirect emissions from waste, water use, and commuting.
For Scope 1 direct emissions, RMUTP manages emissions from university-owned vehicles and campus equipment through vehicle-use control, vehicle management systems, and measures to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. These measures help reduce direct emissions from mobile combustion and support more efficient use of university transport resources.
For Scope 2 indirect emissions, RMUTP reduces emissions from purchased electricity through energy conservation programs, renewable energy installation, solar-cell systems, energy-efficient equipment, LED lighting, and electricity-use monitoring.
For Scope 3 other indirect emissions, these include EV charging stations, pedestrian pathways, restriction of student private vehicles, parking-area control and reduction, public transportation promotion, car sharing, and awareness campaigns to reduce commuting-related emissions.
