Thailand’s National Energy Policy Committee has approved a reduction in electricity rates from September through December 2025, aiming to ease consumer costs without tapping into the national budget.
Following its first 2025 meeting, the committee confirmed that electricity charges will be lowered from 4.15 baht to 3.99 baht per unit during the final four months of the year. The adjustment is part of broader efforts to stabilize energy costs amid fluctuating fuel markets. Authorities expressed confidence that the revised rate will remain steady through year-end, barring any major changes in energy production expenses.
In addition to the rate change, the committee acknowledged a plan to increase electricity purchases from renewable sources. The focus will be on energy production methods that incur no fuel costs, such as solar or energy derived from industrial waste. This initiative supports the national strategy for clean energy expansion between 2023 and 2030, particularly in areas that have yet to implement such transitions.
The electricity rate cap of 3.99 baht per unit was also confirmed by another senior official via social media. Both energy and finance officials attended the committee meeting where the rate reduction and renewable energy measures were discussed.
