I've said it already but only last week I opened a contract with PEA for electricity.  4,600 baht which includes 2,000 baht security deposit (receipt supplied).  Following a survey, the electric meter and supply was done in 3 days.

The price of the different size meters are clearly posted on a sign in any PEA office I have been in Buriam province. You may have a deposit on file in your name, for the temporary meter in your name, which gets deducted on the permanent meter fee.  You still will have a deposit and it is crucial to save the receipt for your deposit fee. 

Exactly what we paid 4 months ago, down to the sahtang.

Did you check capacity of the meters?  Many Thais accept the basic meter at 5/15. Foreigbers opt for a 15/45amp to power aircon etc. They cost more than the basic ome. 

My wife recently upgraded the metre at her house to 15/45 and it cost 1,500 Baht.  Probably depends on the various companies costs.
