In a surprising twist that may bring smiles to residents and businesses across Thailand, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) is contemplating a significant reduction in electricity tariffs. The potential cut would see the price per kilowatt-hour drop by 0.17 baht, provided the government takes the praiseworthy step of reducing its spending on renewable energy initiatives.

Should they follow through, the power tariff could tumble down to a more wallet-friendly 3.89 baht per unit.
