Some news reports state that Thaksin is determined to keep the PT in power in order to pass the 2026 fiscal budget bill. This will have its second and third readings after July 3.
In this budget there are three important acts of legislation concerning the energy sector to be considered
The Petroleum Business Regulatory Act, aimed at tightening government control over fuel distribution.
A law promoting solar energy adoption, expected to fast-track nationwide solar cell installation.
A strategic oil reserve framework, designed to strengthen national energy security.

If these bills pass, the current power and regulatory bodies, scattered across various agencies and interests, would be far closer integrated, thus enabling greater central control. A politician's dream!
