Energy post areshuffle testIn every cabinet reshuffle, the top position in the Energy Ministry, like the Transport Ministry, is a prime target for politicians who see it as a "treasure trove''. The most attractive element of the Energy Ministry is its state enterprises. They are Thailand's largest energy firm PTT Plc which contributed 29.2 billion baht, followed by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat), at 18.9 billion baht. The Energy Ministry itself also has several multi-billion-baht projects in the pipeline. This is why the Energy Ministry is so important among powerful politicians.
