                    [Summary] => The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has assured the public that the cost adjustment mechanisms in the power rate will not mean additional profits for power distribution companies.


In a primer for public distribution, the ERB attests that "the purpose of the cost adjustment mechanisms is simply to recover increases in costs, and the formula approved for computing the same are so designed so as not to allow additional profit or income to the electric power utilities."

                    [Summary] => Militant groups warned yesterday of massive protests against the Arroyo administration if the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) pushes through with a proposed 116 percent or P3.97 per kilowatt hour (kwh) increase in power rates.


Meralco president Jesus Francisco was quoted as saying their petition with the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) was for an increase of 30 centavos per kilowatt hour.


The petition has been pending since it was filed in April 2000, he added.

                    [Summary] => President Arroyo has ruled that Maynilad Water Resources Inc. should bear the consequences of their concession contract and should not pass on their foreign exchange loses to consumers through water rate hikes, Presidential spokesman Rigoberto Tiglao said yesterday.


Tiglao, however, assured Maynilad that President Arroyo has allowed a government bail-out of the financial-strapped firm by suspending their payment of concession fees to the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).
