On July 13, 2015, Egat executives celebrated the first day of trading for the North Bangkok Power Plant Block 1 Infrastructure Fund, Thailand's first SET-listed state enterprise infrastructure fund. Raising funding through infrastructure funds provides greater financial flexibility as SOEs would receive a lump sum of capital immediately for use in their operations, he noted. Existing infrastructure funds include the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand's (Egat) North Bangkok Power Plant Block 1 Infrastructure Fund and the Thailand Future Fund, both of which support national infrastructure investment. Infrastructure funds can also raise debt financing independently, beyond simply issuing investment units. Investment projects that could immediately raise cash through infrastructure funds include Egat's floating solar projects.
