Chart Pattana Kla Party April 21-"Korn" Bie cancels the hottest 3-month FT fee, can reduce electricity bills immediately. after gas costs dropped recommend dismantling the electrical structure liberalization of solar energy for the public to jointly invest

Mr. Korn Chatikavanij, leader of the Chart Pattana Kla Party, said that the solution to the problem of high electricity costs is that the government must immediately cancel the FT fee during the three months. You can do it because of the cost of EGAT. The decrease was due to the LNG price that was constantly falling. The Chart Pattana Party dares to propose that the electricity industry must be demolished. Because at this time, the proportion of electricity production in our homes uses fossil fuels. The amount is higher than 50%. There is also coal and oil, which costs around 5 baht. In particular, we use less than 10% of solar energy, although the current cost of electricity generation is about 2 baht. Instead, we choose to use the least.

“To solve the problem requires political courage. to dismantle the electrical structure which must be liberalized to the public with the right to be an investor which is different from today is that we do not have to rely on large capital with state enterprises to build a large power plant Today, a big investment in power generation is cheaper. That is, we must liberate all people who have a household. have access to funds to access solar panels and give the right to sell excess electricity back to the state At the same price as the price of electricity purchased from the state, bought for 5 baht, but currently sells back for only 2.20 baht, which is an important reason for investment. By the public sector and the private sector, it doesn't happen, ”said the leader of the Chart Phatthana Kla Party.

Mr. Korn said that in the past there was a clear disparity in terms of opportunities, which mostly belonged to large capital. We should liberalize it so that every citizen has the right to be an investor in this sector. because technology has reached that point But the main obstacle is Part of it is a matter of policy. But the other part is about the source of capital. Therefore, we offer funding sources to Every household can install their own solar panels interest-free. The cost is the money required to install it. able to pay in installments with savings from electricity bills Which has been calculated for no more than 5 years, will return the investment after that, people will be able to use electricity for free. which here we can do immediately millions of households And the installation doesn't take too long.

Mr. Korn said that the Chart Pattana Party dared to propose to separate the transmission line from the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. It is a separate state-owned enterprise to liberalize fire trading. Between the private sector and the public sector, because now the Electricity Authority is jealous because they want to be a producer and reserve the right to produce themselves. Therefore, who cannot use his transmission line? I would like to compare it several decades ago when PTT was privatized. The condition was to protect the interests of the people, i.e. to be able to privatize, but the gas pipe had to be separated so that other parties could deliver gas. through that gas pipe But as long as it's still there PTT, he will set various conditions to prevent the competition from occurring.

“We focus on fair competition. People can buy and sell electricity between them. They must have a transmission line that can send electricity to each other. confirm that we are not privatized but separated into separate state enterprises There are clearly different indicators and to enable investment and trading, and where the state has already invested in the transmission system. Getting the most people to use is good for the state because it's worth the investment. Therefore, the whole goal is to adjust the structure of the electricity generation industry to use the lowest cost of production, which is the cost of more solar energy. In which investors must be citizens, everyone has the right to invest in order to save their own electricity bills. And it will happen very quickly. This is something the capitalists fear so much, but it is something we are sure the people will do.” Said.-Thai News Agency
