Higher power tariffs have affected industries that are grappling with increased operational costs, especially during hot months.
Greater power usage during the summer months is heating up electricity prices as people crank up air conditioners.
A surge in power bills has again sparked calls for state help, which led to the revision of the four-month power tariff last week and sparked a debate over more effective solutions.
While authorities struggle to tame the tariff, with the latest effort cutting the rate to 4.70 baht per kilowatt-hour (unit), suggestions keep rolling in such as requests for an additional tariff cut, better control of electricity and more support for renewable energy.
