The total value of electricity and water projects delivered by real estate companies to the Electricity Company and the Water Supply Company is not yet known, and it is unclear how the assets will be transferred.

HoREA said that this argument is not standard because electricity companies operating in the field of electricity distribution and retailing must comply with the Electricity Law 2004 which is the legal regulation specialized in electricity.

Because Clause 3, Article 11 on investment in electricity development has stipulated: “The electricity generation, transmission and distribution are responsible for investing in the construction of electricity substations, meters and power transmission lines. and in clause (2.c) of Article 41 on the obligations of the electricity distribution unit, stipulate: “To draw up plans for investment in the development of electricity distribution grids and investment in the development of electricity grids.
