Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2022 The Thai Energy Ministry is eyeing to forcefully mandate an electricity-saving campaign for households and businesses such as shopping malls, gas stations, or nightlife venues, to battle the rising prices of liquefied natural gas (LNG) used in national power generation. The LNG prices may keep rising in the winter due to the Russo-Ukrainian war, the baht’s depreciation, and higher demand for energy in Europe, said Kulit Sombatsir, permanent secretary of the Energy Ministry. If the LNG prices climb to $50 per metric million British thermal unit (MMBTU) for consecutively more than two weeks, the electricity-saving campaign, which is usually adopted voluntarily by people, will be made mandatory, Kulit said.

Popular Post lor Posted November 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2022 I remember Thaksin decided to close all petrol stations through the night. Said it would save lots of electricity. He forgot that the trucks carry the food through the night! Everywhere ended up without any food deliveries. The decision was soon reversed. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mran66 Posted November 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2022 Early closing no need, can just drink warm beer and grope your companion in the dark of night. Higher risk for surprise in the room later though... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post andygrr Posted November 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2022 Lets get this right closing the bars earlier will save electric. So all the patrons that leave the bars and go back to their rooms earlier will not put the AC on. Which uses more power a club with say 200 customers or 200 rooms with the air con running full blast. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
