KhunBENQ Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) All time record. I should add that part of the peak is due to the fact that the granddaughter is here for a whole month. She wastes a lot of power and water. So we are four in a two storey house. Upper floor is an oven. Never had so much AC running in 11 years. There is no unexpected rise per unit. Compared to previous months we have overshot the highest scale of 400 units (704 units used). I hope this will settle???? 4291.60 Baht for 704 units. That's 6.1 Baht/unit.

Our meter was previously connected to an abandoned shop house and has just been swapped "without bureaucracy". So I didn't see a discount and was too lazy to cart my Thais to the PEA office to bring things in order. Edited April 23, 2023 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 300 or 400 units to get discount please? I went over the 300 units last month, because they came to read the meter on 19th instead of 17th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the MEA site for 704 Units you should have paid around 3,819.13 THB. Can you have a look at your PEA/MEA bill and see what it says under TYPE?

MJCM Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 @KhunBENQ My guess you are on type 2.1 which is Small General Service on Normal Tariff and that is for businesses AFAIK and not for normal house holds. You should go to the PEA and get that corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what happened to me : A increase in units used , 212 to 362 = 70.75% increase. An increase in price, 887.66 baht to 1,867.30 = 110.36% increase. On the cheaper bill ( 212 units ) the FT surcharge was reduced by 72% No reduction on the 362 units used. Hence once you get past the reduction limit, 300 units ??, the cost rises rapidly. Good incentive to save electricity I guess. Edited April 23, 2023 by Andrew Dwyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing (maybe helps or not) but when we bought the property next door, we wanted to change the name on the PEA Bill to my wife's, PEA advised us then to NOT change the name, but get a new meter which is a lot easier to do. Maybe that works the same in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks No, last month bill, 19th, was 1845.22, this month 2369.22. In April 2021 the bill was 2333.97 about the same as this month and in June 2021 it was 2411.62. Bearing in mind the rise in unit cost, 2021 may have been warmer than now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt1 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 My bill went up about 1000 Baht or so to just under 5000. I'll gladly pay that and more as long as the power stays on. I think having brownouts or low voltage as the lights are dimming up and down for the past hour. Nobody using a welder either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
