Yes the Service charge decreases but Ft (Fuel Surcharge) increase to 0.93430 THB per Unit (which is almost 1 Thb per unit).

 

The previous discount is removed

The article quoted mentions reductions for off peak meters, small industry and water pumpers.  It won't affect most of us.

Yeah i don't get it going on about costs in Thailand, my son just showed me his gas and lecky bill in UK that would be something to talk about.

The wonderful thing about electricity charges in Thailand is that the service charge - the one you pay even if you use zero electricity - is only tiny. Compare that to Australia, where the service charge amounts to over 40% of my bill, even when I’m at home using electricity the whole time. Together with no council tax and very small juristic fee, has eased the pain of leaving my Thai condo unoccupied for 3 years.

Yes, unfortunately after reading another article in the Bangkok Post that's definitely the case.

 

Lucky it's been very mild up in the North East and haven't used the Aircon much.
