Therefore, the government of Mr. Settha Decided to reduce the electricity bill to 4 per unit. 10 baht, including reducing diesel fuel to less than 30 baht, is considered to help people in the current situation. because of the past People are burdened with unrealistic energy costs. Until causing suffering to the people all over

However, the Democrat Party itself has announced that An important measure to solve the problem of electricity costs is Cancellation of FT fees In order to make the electricity price match the actual cost. because it was seen that The calculation of the FT value is entirely based on assumptions. and is a vulnerability in the electrical configuration.

In many areas of the country which he still has doubts about What steps have been taken to request use of space from the local government organization (Local Administrative Organization) because of the investment in wind energy? A lot of space is required. Including the installation of dozens of large wind turbines. Setting up a system to control the power received, etc., including paying local administrative tax maintenance. of these wind energy companies There is still no clarity. Therefore, he would like the Ministry of Energy Related agencies or even various wind energy companies Has proceeded to clarify such doubts. To create clarity for the people So that wind energy is another option to overcome the energy price crisis as well.

'I want to thank the government. that has taken steps to reduce electricity costs for the people Since the first Cabinet meeting, but I saw that it was only a reduction in electricity costs. without taking action to cancel the FT fee It creates paranoia among the people that Electricity bills may not actually be reduced. Because there may be a formula that will make the FT value As a result, the electricity price will not decrease as the government wants to help. Therefore, the action to cancel the FT fee. along with promoting a variety of alternative energy sources It is considered to help people live a sustainable life,' Mr. Chaichana said. - Thai News Agency
