People will be allowed to have a say regarding the new power tariff as the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) prepares to decide on the next hike, leading to higher electricity bills next year.
The higher bill is mainly attributed to an increase in the fuel tariff, often called Ft, which is a key component in the power tariff, followed by an increase in global energy prices, especially for liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports.
The ERC wants to hear what households and businesses think of its three different rates for the power tariff. The higher the tariff, the less the financial burden will be shouldered by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat).
