Energy Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga offered an assurance today that electricity charges for May-August will not be higher than they are now, as the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) is holding an online public hearing to gauge opinions about the electricity rate.

 

Komkrit Tantravanich, secretary-general of the ERC Office, said today that the ERC had proposed three price options: 5.44 baht/unit if the Fuel Tariff (FT) charge is 165.24 satang/unit; 4.34 baht/unit if the FT is 55.72 satang/unit and 4.18 baht/unit if the FT is 39.72 satang/unit.

 

Members of the public can select one of the options from today until March 22nd.

The headline is at odds with the article and is misleading. There is obviously a chance for charges to go up.

Yes, I thought we knew this already? 

The article is really only talking the Fuel Tariff (Ft) rate per KWH used. 

 

The Ft is reviewed/adjusted every 4 months for Jan-Apr, May-Aug, and Sep-Dec....been that way for a l....o.....n.....g  time.   

 

The Ft is then added onto the basic electricity rate per KWH....toss-in monthly meter fee and 7% VAT and you have the total cost per KWH.
