Small businesses and households are being urged to reduce their reliance on the state electricity grid and adopt solar power solutions, as global energy price volatility threatens to drive up costs, despite Thailand's capped power tariffs, according to solar firms. But industry analysts warn that rising fuel prices, driven by the conflict in the Middle East, will eventually push electricity costs higher. New Energy Plus Solutions, a solar panel importer and installer, is calling on the incoming government to expand public access to solar technology. In Thailand, electricity prices are expected to follow LNG costs.
