There would be no power-rate hike next year.


This was the assurance made by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), the country’s power sector regulator, after a consumer group warned of a possible P7 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) increase in power rates next year.


ERC chairman Rodolfo Albano also pointed out that any increase would be subjected to public consultation before it is implemented.

There would be no power-rate hike next year.


This was the assurance made by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), the country’s power sector regulator, after a consumer group warned of a possible P7 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) increase in power rates next year.


ERC chairman Rodolfo Albano also pointed out that any increase would be subjected to public consultation before it is implemented.
