The Provincial Electricity Authority ( PEA ) declares that electricity sold to Myanmar adheres to Thai-Myanmar laws and that it will stop distribution if contract bleaching is discovered.
According to PEA lieutenant governor Prasit Junprasit, Seed provides power to Myanmar in five locations: Payathonzu Town in Karen State, two pieces of Tachilek Town in Shan State, and two locations in Myawaddy village in Kayin State.
He claimed that in response to a request from the Myanmar Embassy in Thailand in Thailand in 2023, Seed suspended power supply to two places in Myanmar.
Ban Mae Ku Mai Tha Sung to Myawaddy and Ban Wang Ha in Tak to Shwe Kokko in Tak were both cut off from the electricity.
Additionally, Seed discontinued offer from Chiang Saen in Chiang Rai to Tachileik in Shan State in 2024 as a result of the contract’s failure to pay the electricity bills.
In case of an emergency, he claimed PEA had collaborated with security organizations in Thailand and Myanmar and was prepared to turn off power to stop call center con groups and criminals from using Thai providers ‘ services to carry out illegal acts across the borders.
He also assured Thai residents who reside along the borders and rely on Seed solutions that such decisions would not have an impact.
