Thailand Plans 20% Electricity Price Cut for Low-Use Households

Thailand plans to cut electricity tariffs by about 20% for households that use relatively little power, in a bid to ease living costs amid surging global energy costs, according to Energy Minister Akanat Promphan.

Homes that use up to 200 units a month will pay less than 3 baht (about 9 US cents) per unit, down from the current average of about 3.95 baht, Akanat told reporters on Tuesday.
