In 2022, BPP recorded a net profit of THB 5,739 million, an increase of THB 2,612 million or 84% compared to 2021.

Despite the company recognized loss from CHP power plant affected by higher coal cost, BPP recognized profit sharing from an associate resulting from gain on sales of investment in Sunseap, and also higher profit sharing from HPC power plant that operate efficiently, and from SLG power plant that increased in sales from both volume and tariff, due to starting power trading in power market and entering into a long-term coal supply contract at favorable price, lowering its coal cost significantly.
Meanwhile, BPP also had higher finance costs from loan additions for new power plants investment during 2021 and debenture issuance during 2022.
