Calculating a Chiang Mai PEA electricity bill

Featured Replies

Is there a Chiang Mai Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) web page where a customer can itemize the various charges on his electricity bill, particularly the 3-tier rates used by PEA?

I did find such a page for the MEA (Metropolitan Electricity Authority), but the residential rates are not the same.

Thanks!

Not sure how accurate you need. I keep a spreadsheet of my utilities (residential 2 story house in Mae Hia) and for last month the breakdown was:

.69B/unit Fuel tax (changed last month)

3.6913B/unit base cost

7% VAT

Plugged my usage in and it was spot on with my bill within a few satang (round off). So looks like an accurate and reliable source.

great! I must have entered wrong number of units when I tried it.

I don't think my PEA office (Hang Dong) website provides any such page (Thai or English) for its customers.

Much more detail than the PEA bill I get in my box each month.

Thanks, Tywais!

Using the MekongBob link, if you normally use less than 150KWh/month you will be on the 1.1 tariff. (The top line). If more than 150KWh/month you will be on the 1.2 tariff (The middle line).

There does not seem to be much difference however. My latest bill approx 1200 KWh is incorrect by about 3 baht using the 1.1 tariff and 2 satang with the 1.2 tariff. (I'm definately on 1.2 tariff)

Although MekongBobs link is for MEA , I'm on PEA and rates match.(for me)

Same here. I'm on PEA and the rates match for me on the MEA calculator.

The bottom line is always very close to 4 thb per unit. It did seem to go up slightly last bill. 202 units for 843 thb. Previously 179 units for 715 thb.

The rates are the same. MEA customers subsidize PEA customers.
