message: I object to this edit request. Other sources claim that EGAT is the only entity legally allowed to buy electricity and redistribute it to consumers. Almost all power generating companies are required to sell their electricity to EGAT.A Comparative Infrastructure Development Assessment of the Kingdom of Thailand and the Republic of Korea That is indicative of EGAT's monopoly power over the Thai electricity market. Do you have evidence to show demonstrate that this no longer the case? Altamel (talk) 03:05, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

message: I think we view “monopoly” differently. EGAT as a state-owned enterprise must follow the Thai government’s energy policy to buy electricity from private power producers, Independent Power Producers (IPPS) with more than 90MW-contracted capacity and Small Power Producers (SPP) with 10-90MW - contracted capacity. The large amount of electricity produced by IPPs and SPPs is supplied to the national transmission system that is under the responsibility of EGAT. For the current situation and conditions in Thailand, the grid operation under the government sector is a way to maintain the reliability and security of the national power system. However, the government has allowed small-scale power projects of up to 10MW to connect to the grid and directly sell electricity to Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) and Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) since 2002. Therefore, from my point of view, it should not be said that the market is monopolized.

message: :According to the article, it is said that EGAT imported 11 million tonnes of coal, but after checking in the cited reference https://www.platts.com/latest-news/coal/hanoi/thailands-june-coal-imports-slide-6-on-year-to-27635975, I found that in the first half of the year 11 million tonnes of coal were imported by the whole country, not only by EGAT. The coal imported is mostly used by private power producers. EGAT mostly uses coal in the Mae Moh Mine owned by EGAT.
:Moreover, it is written in the article that EGAT produced 6.88 million tonnes of lignite from January–May 2016, mostly for use in its own power plants, but after checking the reference https://www.platts.com/latest-news/coal/hanoi/thailands-june-coal-imports-slide-6-on-year-to-27635975, I found that it is Thailand that produced 6.88 million mt of lignite over January-May, not just EGAT.
:So you need to replace EGAT with Thailand on these two mentioned points as written in the cited reference.
