The government is catering to the interests of industry by lowering electricity bills for them while hiking the rate for households, according to Korn Chatikavanij, leader of the Chartpattanakla Party.
The party called in the media in Bangkok on Saturday to lambast the state’s latest revision of electricity pricing which it said will reduce the bills for various industries but raise those of households.
Mr Korn said the higher power cost, set to be reflected in the May-August billing period, was coming at a bad time as electricity consumption peaks during the summer months.
The government chose to push up bills during this period, which aggravates the people’s plight, he said.
