MJCM Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Well done for keeping the meter at 0 (again ) Yeah that 12 THB reduction on the Service Charge is a great help, but the 0,9343 Ft charge (per unit) is hurting. I wonder what the increase in April will be (and that is just in time for the Hot weather) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at us, our ROI would be in the 10's of years (and we are not done at spending yet as SWMBO is slowly coming aboard, so hopefully LFP4 here you come ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was also very negative at first about my Solar Plans, but now she is the one who wants the PEA bill to go lower and lower and lower ???? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it time, and if you are using a 5/15 metre it can get to be free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope our house is on 15/45, next door house is 5/15 but we don't use it we only bought it too increase our land size (for the wife's garden) Next door house is free (only have a light on 24/7) and uses 12 kWh and thus free (< 50 units) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even less, especially with the LFP's (hopefully) coming, our (mine only at the moment) goal is to be in-depended as possible from the PEA 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electricity supply in Thailand is not universally reliable. I’m sure yours is great and you never get a brown-out or a black-out but where I live power cuts are not uncommon. I want to have power for lights, fans, aircon and running water all the time and I am prepared to pay for it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
