Energy credit card project may be postponed
The Energy Ministry may have to postpone its launch of energy credit card project as a result of the ongoing floods.
A source from the Energy Ministry revealed that the campaign, due to kick off in late October, would have to be put off as the floods had forced many natural gas for vehicles (NGV) stations to stop providing service temporarily and had also made officials unable to install the system at the NGV stations.
The energy credit card project is designed to help shoulder the financial burden of low-income earners having NGV vehicles by allowing them to refill their tanks within a credit limit of 3,000 baht per month. Those eligible for the scheme include taxi drivers, van drivers and general car owners.
PTT Public Company Limited (PTT) has agreed to seek a budget of 196 million THB as the credit fund and the Finance Ministry will be the debt guarantor.
