In 1953, an abundant lignite resource was found at Mae Moh basin. That contributed to the project to construct Mae Moh lignite power plants. It produces and supplies lignite to Mae Moh power plants to generate electricity at the comparatively the lowest rate cost. At present, sixteen million tons per year of coal is produced and transferred to 10 units of Mae Moh Power Plants, with a combined total power generation of 2,400 Megawatt.

It has been long confirmed by the environmental monitoring results that they are under the standard and guideline limits. Thus, to support the policy of changing the mine to be an attractive site for visitors, Mae Moh Mine has to strengthen its environmental management as a role model from the polluted area to scenic area.
