The Energy Ministry has decided to postpone the effective date for cutting retail prices for biodiesel B10 and gasohol E20 by one baht per litre from Wednesday to Thursday because the ministry’s buildings caught fire on Wednesday, rendering officials unable to conduct a meeting.
The State Oil Fund Administrative Committee previously planned to approve this measure to be effective from Dec 25 to Jan 10.
The fire took place on the third floor of the ministry’s energy complex on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. It was extinguished within one hour.
