The board also decided to scrap the compensation for transportation costs for LPG to be delivered by PTT Plc to regional depots across the country. This measure will reduce the LPG prices in the countryside to different levels depending on the distance between the depots and PTT Plc main LPG terminal.
However, Mr Thavarath Sutabutr, director of the Energy Policy and Planning Office, said that during the first three months the depot-gate prices of LPG in the countryside will be controlled at levels not exceeding the transportation costs.
He pointed out that the LPG price in Lampang which is the farthest from PTT terminal will not be reduced as the compensation remains at 2 baht/kg.
The new LPG retail price for Bangkok and the eastern region effective as of Thursday is 20.29 baht/kg.
