PTT asked to help subsidise power chargesAn electric vehicle is recharged in Siam Square area of Bangkok. The government is trying to freeze power costs for small consumers as the price of natural gas used for electricity generation continues to force costs up. This would allow Egat to freeze its electricity charges for people who use no more than 500 units per month. The fund would also contribute alongside the proposed PTT contribution to freeze charges from January to April, he said. The country must import a large amount of expensive LNG for power generation because natural gas production in the Gulf of Thailand is declining.
