The military junta in #Myanmar plans to procure a small #nuclear reactor from #Russia.
I would be surprised if nuclear safety and non-proliferation concerns caused any delays in this partnership.

This #EnergyCrisis will boost #PositiveEnergyDistricts and #Prosumers.
People will buy excess heat and power from neighbors rather than utilities they can`t trust.
Once #energyCommunities laws are in place, utilities will lose monopoly and struggle.

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.

High fuel price in Myanmar increases demand for #bicycles. Imported Japanese 2nd hand cycles are popular, as they are more durable than Chinese. Compared to Thailand, there are lots of electric bicycles as prices are affordable (under 200€).

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'.

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.

Electricity bills to surge as power tariff hits all-time high
Thais face pricier electricity bills, with the power tariff increasing to a record high of 4.4 baht per kilowatt-hour (unit) between September and December, says the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
