...seems I am not the only one that has visited PEA Naklua about electricity price plan then.. went there about a week ago to inquire if and how would it be possible to change price plan from flat rate plan 1.1.2. that we currently have in our nine house community. We have one bill from PEA that we share based on individual meters on each house. 

 

Some time ago I learnt that it is possible to have time-based pricing where price on peak hours (workdays 9-22) is 5.1 baht and off-peak (22-9, weekends, holidays) is 2.6 baht. This is called price plan 1.2.1 (see attached documents for details) On average this would yield a rate of about 3.6-3.7 baht as average i.e something in range of 15-20% reduction with our consumption profile, so decided to go there and ask.

 

Was told that they can change, BUT would need to pay about 12500 baht one-time fee. Did not understand why though (our meter already has the reading for peak/off-peak so technically all set). Maybe they set price for the change fee by looking at how big the saving would be, and then set some 6-9mo of savings as the fee(?).  Wonder if they said anything about the basis for the change fee in your case?

 

Our average bill is about 8000/month (some houses only used short time per year), so the fee would be about 1.5mo worth of use. 

 

Anyway, according to my calculation, normal household would pretty much always end up with lower average electricity unit price if use the price plan 1.2.1., with low off peak rate. Only if usage in daytime would be substantially higher than nighttime, this would not be favourable. Consequently, for anyone considering price plan change, should check if the plan 1.2.1 with off peak price of 2.6 would actually be the right one. Easy for anyone to calculate for him/herself if interested for this price plan swap.

 

Anyway, sharing just in case would help someone.

 

Admin actually could consider to pin this in relevant forum as seems awareness of this issue is not too wide.

No it isn't.

 

Tax revenue office is about 100 meter from PEA office, and at the other side of the street.

 

PEA doesn't share any other government agency in their building

Perhaps I am thinking of the Water place then... just across the hall from the revenue place, I went and sat in there to kill time as the revenue place was closed for lunch. Lots of people queueing to pay bills of some sort.

Amphur and tax revenue are in the same building.

 

Waterworks are on Chayapornviti road.
