pixelaoffy Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Tried to pay the MET Gov electric bill last week but was told in Tesco and 7-11 that couldnt , another customer told me its due to an adjustment and reduction due to current lockdown. Anyone know when and will there be another Bill issued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digbeth Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 had a paper bill in the post, but I normally pay using the MEA app, it has showed no charge so can't pay, until only today that the reduced rate was shown on the app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEA is the provincial electricity authority responsible for all areas outside of Bangkok (metro?). MEA is the metropolitan electricity authority.

Pib Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Got my latest MEA electric bill today...always get it on the 13th. And wow....never saw a MEA electric bill like this with the additional discounts due to the COVID-19 situation. Disregarding the Ft adjustment (i.e., price of fuel to produce electricity), I had a Bt887 discount titled "discount for govt policy" and then another 3% discount for Bt192 titled "according to govt policy." Without pulling out last month's bill I pretty sure I got the 3% discount last month also. Top part of the bill shows what I have to pay based on the adjustment; bottom part shows what a bill without discounts would have been. I have a 30/100A meter....KWH used this month was 1,638....I run one large A/C 24/7 and another one at night time. And got all the typical other electronic/electrical appliances in my home along with 3 frigs. When all the discount dust settled I got discounts of Bt1,076 .
