Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra Saturday admitted there is a risk of blackouts in some areas of Bangkok and the South on April 5 - the expected peak date for electricity usage - and called on all households and businesses to save energy now, to ensure there is reserve power for use on that date.
The PM urged the public to have confidence in the government's measures to tackle the expected powersupply crunch in April, when natural gas supplies from Myanmar will be disrupted due to routine maintenance of the Yadana gas field pipeline from April 5-14.
