                    [Summary] => The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) expects a favorable decision from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) on the power distribution firm’s unbundling rate petition.


"This (ERC decision) will indicate sincerity of the government to keep Meralco viable. That regulatory decision will be the test of that (sincerity)," Meralco president Jesus Francisco said.

Meralco is asking for a P1.12 increase per kilowatthour (kWh) in its rate as soon as it itemizes its rate. The company included in its unbundling petition a 30-centavo rate increase in its basic rate.
