ERC seeks cheaper prices for renewables

Quick Summary:

The government is being asked to purchase renewable power from power companies at cheaper prices in order to reduce electricity bills by 0.17 baht per kilowatt-hour (unit).

After these tariffs expire, the companies continue to receive the bonus tariffs under PPAs.

There are currently 500 firms, both listed and not listed on the stock market, which are awarded licences to operate renewable power plants.
