FT hike to set record high

FT hike to set record high

An increase within the fuel tariff (FT) has been decided and is expected to raise the electrical power bill to a record high of 4. 72 baht per kilowatt-hour between September and December, said a source at the Energy Regulating Commission.

The FT rate will rise during this period to 93. 43 satang per kWh, up 68. 66 satang per kilowatt-hour. This will take the general power bill in order to its new report high, up from 4 baht currently.

The origin said the FT hike does not need a public hearing since it is the lowest of three proposed rates investigated.

Three options have already gone through an earlier public hearing round which was determined on Monday.
