Contd: "🇹🇭 #PPA contains another #guarantee mechanism known as #takeorpay. #Egat is obliged to buy #electricity fr #powerplants even tho 🇹🇭 has too much #energyreserves in the #nationalgrid.. w generous PPAs, profits of pwr plants rise sustainably while those of Egat move in e opposite direction.. #IEA recs alternative #powermarket mechanisms.. generous financial obligations such as Ft & purchase-guaranteed clauses, like e AP & take-or-pay clauses, must be removed, if not reduced" #GoodGovernance

"The ( #energy) ministry has been evasive abt unfair contracts w energy producers, especially in relation to #availabilitypayment (AP) costs .. AP was created as a guaranteed incentive for investors to build projects so #Thailand would be spared fr long-term #power shortages. But without #accountability & public scrutiny, it's massively abused, resulting in #excessive #energyreserves. The AP payment is passed on to consumers thru Ft or fuel tariff"

Just more evidence that the #clearNet/#legacyNet is in its last days.
Given the extreme #moneyPrinting by #corporatists over past months it wouldn't surprise us if some of the "#COVIDrelief" is for #manipulating #narratives to #engineerConsent for #oilWars.
#Fracking was a sham and so the US will do anything possible to get unfettered access to real #energyReserves.
