Electricity Meter Refund for MQDC Residents

The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) has announced that it will stop collecting deposits for electricity meters and refund deposits already paid.

The policy currently covers Thai nationals only. The MEA has yet to reveal if or when the policy might be extended to non-Thais.

Starting 1 April 2020, MQDC no longer charges electricity deposits from customers transferring units. You will now only pay for installation, which is not waived by MEA.

If you have received your final balance invoice and it includes a deposit fee, please contact MQDC’s Customer Services team. This applies to customers who have not yet registered the transfer of their unit into their ownership and/or the transfer of the electric meter.
