The 37-degree weather was the main cause of power consumption yesterday afternoon hitting a new high so far this year of 27.2 gigawatts.

It was the third record-breaking peak of this year after 27.14GW on April 21 and 27.06GW on April 7.

Sunchai Khamnoonset, governor of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, said the state enterprise was preparing sufficient electricity and fuel to meet demand.

Everyone can make a contribution to saving energy in such ways as cleaning air-conditioners, turning off unnecessary lights, keeping air-conditioners at 25 degrees Celsius, unplugging unused appliances and shifting to energy-saving light bulbs, he said.

First time in 12 years for us to have air-conditioning only have in our bedroom, we have 30 foot long glass frontage, it's not healthy to be in there day time with no air conditioning.

I come into the office everyday so i don't have to use the air 24 hrs a day at home.
