It is both fair and more incentivising that reducing indoor temperatures by 2-3 °C is rewarded with lower heating bills. But Finland lobbied against measuring apartment-specific heat consumption in multi-family residential buildings. Heat was considered too cheap to meter.

Former Thai finance minister claims oil refineries have increased margins 10-fold and wants to 'windfall-tax' their profits into the Oil Fuel Fund that spends 20m USD per day to cap diesel price. Oil companies disagree, say this would 'distort market'. bangkokpost.com/business/23359…
bangkokpost.com
Why the Oil Fuel Fund is overburdened
The Energy Ministry an­-nounced that the mounting debt of the state Oil Fuel Fund exceeded 100 billion baht as of yesterday. While a recent nudge from Kla Party leader Korn Chatikavanij, a former finance minister, shed more light on pressing issues surrounding energy and resulting in the government requesting cooperation from oil refineries to channel their profits into the fund, no subsidies for the prices of fuel requested from six Thai refiners have been finalised yet.

Thailand increases electricity tariffs from 3,5 to 4 THB (9,4 to 10,7 €-cnt) per kWh due to higher LNG costs. 20bn THB (530 M€) are used monthly to subsidise electricity, 10% of which is generated by gas from Myanmar, enriching the military junta. bangkokpost.com/business/23296…
