Household electricity bills have been poised to fall from September after regulators approved a new tariff structure that removes public street-lighting costs from residential bills and caps the rate for the first 200 units of monthly consumption at no more than 3 baht per unit.
Energy Minister Akanat Promphan said on Thursday the changes would cut electricity charges by about 6 satang per unit, with the new rates to affect September bills through to at least December.
