The state-run Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat) is considering blocking high-end property owners from receiving a free electric bill when they use less than 50 kilowatt-hours. "Egat will find how to screen them out from this unfair programme of the state utility," Mr Viboon said. For the liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipment business, Egat is planning to set up a wholly owned company to oversee the unit after Egat tests the LNG operating system during the December-March period. In addition, Egat is studying the feasibility of a third LNG shipment of roughly 1 million tonnes because LNG prices have dipped globally and the baht's appreciation benefits importation. Mr Tawatchai said Egat plans to proceed with the third LNG shipment in the first half, therefore the shipment will be delivered in the third quarter.
