PEA imposes 300 baht fine for illegal power reconnection
The Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) has set a 300-baht penalty for residential, small business, and temporary users who reconnect electricity without authorization after disconnection. Additional charges for damaged electricity and other damages may apply. The rule excludes government entities.
What this means for you
- Homes, small businesses and temporary-supply users on the Provincial Electricity Authority grid pay a 300-baht fine for reconnecting their own power at the meter after it was cut.
- The fine falls on the account holder, the occupier or anyone living there, so tenants are covered, and PEA can also charge for the lost electricity and other damage.
- After you pay the overdue bill and reconnection fee, wait for PEA to reconnect the supply.
