I have heard that now the whole Koh Tao Island is supplied by a diesel power plant run by the PEA.

How much is the electricity rate? Same Koh Samui?

Thanks for helpful info.

Hi,

We have had govn electric for several years on Koh Tao now,

I guess how much you pay for it all depends on if you are paying direct to the supplier or through a landlord!

I pay just over 3baht a unit for govn. electric.

The killer is when that goes off for a long period and you have to use Namsung -the private provider- thats 31baht a unit!

Luckily thats not very often.

31 baht/unit

incredibile

So you don't live on Koh Tao then.

Definately a statement the unqualified company employees try to claim as they sit amongst the 12 or so broken generators while drinking and playing cards.

Ok, maybe I was a being a bit optimistic with that statement.

I was just thinking about the last 3 months, where at my house I've only been without govn on a few ocassions and then not for long periods - normally no more than an hr or so at a time.

The last time I had to use a lot of Namsung was in March n April

Yes it is annoying but I still think its not bad seeings though we are on a small island - and my water bills cost more than my electric!

Now that I've said that it will probably go off for the whole weekend!

10 years ago it was over 40 thb./unit in the market. Some months my electric bill was more than my rent
