Gas-rich Myanmar supplies 4,581 megawatts or one-sixth of Thai power demand, while only 35% of Myanmar citizens can access power generated from their country's own resources.
Meanwhile, Thailand will continue with plans to increase tax on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the transport sector to make the levy equivalent to those charged for other fuels and to be fair to all motorists.
But Mr Narongchai said the tax increase would be limited only to the transport sector, while the tax on LPG for industry and households would remain unchanged.
