| Abstract | This thesis deals with the discussion in the structural and regulatory changes that are
affecting electricity sector in Thailand. The direction of change is toward promoting
competition in the supply of generation services, restructuring of electricity supply enterprises
to clearly separate the provision of competitive generation services from monopoly
transmission and distribution services, and the application of new regulation governing access
to the transmission and distribution networks and the associated costs of the services provided
by the network. The potential impacts of this change on Thai electricity cost and price, Thai
economic development, the distribution of income, future choice of generating technologies in
Thailand, and research and development from experienced countries ,are discussed.
The emphasis of this thesis is to develop the approaches for the best appropriate
framework for restructuring and privatization, and the optimal Thai Power Sector in long term.
First model is to select the optimal long-term Thai Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) structure
by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which is appropriate for transformation
of qualitative relationships into quantitative relationships, to gather information from the
experts and major relevant persons in ESI restructuring process in Thailand. The second
model is to articulate Thai privatization approach which best balances the requirements of the
various stakeholders by gathering information and opinion from four main stakeholders in the
privatization exercise of Power sector which are General Public, Power Utilities employee,
Government, and Power Utilities management. |
