Full resumption of power feed to industrial estates in 30 days

 PEA Governor Narongsak Kamales said that initially, the 7 industrial estates need power to pump out massive water. Then, when the process is completed and factories are ready to resume operations, the full supply would be restored, likely in 30 days.
 On Tuesday, Narongsak attended a meeting with representatives from the Federation of Thai Industries, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, and the 7 industrial estates. The estates are namely Rojana, Saha Rattana Nakorn, Hi-Tech, Bang Pa-in, Factory Land, Bangkadi and Nava Nakorn. They brainstormed over the rehabilitation process.
 
The representatives were informed that it would take 1 year and a half to restore Rojana Power Co Ltd's 180MW power plant. Egat plans to feed power from its Wang Noi power plant to the industrial estate during the fixing period.
PEA reported that power demand from the manufacturing sector dropped by 498MW due to the floods. Nationwide, overall demand declined by 1,800MW.

The government last week announced that all inundated industrial estates should be ready for business resumption in December.
