KhunBENQ Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Take a calc and find that the unit price has changed marginally (and mostly due to the price scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) 10 minutes ago, KhunBENQ said: Our consumption from February to July. Nothing unusual. The further rise from June to July is due to the fact that temporarily some family members moved in and using yet another AC. And this rate hike from April to May was about 1% per unit. Hard to notice and not an explanation for unexpected bill rises. Same here we avg around 300 units a month, the only dip was in March (210 units) as we were traveling and the highest usage was from April - May.(350 units). This month we used 296 Units. Price wise avg around 4,02 THB per unit. Edited July 19, 2019 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a group of townhouses and I've looked at my wires and meter and see no tampering. The monthly bill shows a history of previous months and my usage normally averages about 400 units. this month it was almost 600. I'm going to have to have a conversation with PEA and try to figure this out. Thanks all! good luck with that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveK Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 My bills have crept up from 1700 to about 2100 this month. One a/c in bedroom, 2 fridges, a few fans, desktop computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotweiler Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 To talk about "price increases" is rather -----. colinneil certainly had the right idea - look at the power consumption numbers from month to month. Assuming you are buying your power directly from your PEA, there are no significant price increases for ages. If you buy from your landlord, that could be a totally different story - some landlords/management companies keep "adjusting" the bill multiplier to make more money. April and May this year were power-pig months and our consumption spiked a lot. But still It's too bad the PEAs no longer print up the actual cost of the electricity per kwh like they used-to. Would help people understand they bills better without needing to use a calculator. Our is 3.725B/kwh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a thread, about the same issue as the OP, which has an Excel sheet attached to it, maybe you can use this to automatically calculate it for you ? https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1021328-elect-charges-go-up-and-up/page/2/ Edited July 19, 2019 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess that you set it to something like 27 or 28 degrees C to have such low usage, either that or you're using it in very small rooms.
