Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered the Energy Regulatory Commission to postpone its planned increase in the cost of electricity next month, according to an informed source.
The ERC had intended to announce on Monday a new power tariff that would be the highest ever, to be effective from September to December.
The ERC had planned to raise the electricity charge from 4.00 baht to 4.72 baht per kilowatt-hour (unit).
