New revisions in Thailand’s electricity tariff structure will lower power rates for household consumers and remove public street lighting costs from residential electricity bills, expected to take effect as early as the August billing cycle.
The changes were among a number of measures approved on Wednesday by the National Energy Policy Council (NEPC), chaired by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. Others include expanded access to clean energy, and more opportunities for businesses to make direct power purchases from clean energy providers.
