The Office of the Energy Regulatory Commission of Thailand (ERC) announced this weekend that it is planning to refund electric meter deposit to users who have paid their electric bill on time for 1 year.
Narupat Amornkosit, secretary-general of the ERC announced on Sunday (Dec. 1) that ERC has discussed with Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) and Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) and agreed to a plan to refund the deposit money for electric meter to good clients who have been paying their power bills on time for a full year. “This refund will be available only to individual customers, covering residential houses and small enterprises,” she added. “Corporate and industrial clients are not included in this deposit refund programme because they put in deposit in the form of bank guarantee.”
