The cabinet is on Tuesday expected to approve measures to relieve the impact of high energy prices, including power bills, but the decision will cost the government even more money.
The government has already spent over 200 billion baht through subsidy programmes to curb soaring prices of diesel and liquefied petroleum gas, which is used as cooking gas, as well as compressed natural gas and electricity, said Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow.
