The highest court of the land has spoken with finality that Meralco had overcharged its three million customers since 1994 with an amount that could reach a staggering P28 billion.


That the Lopez-led distributor should refund the same and reduce its rates by 16.7 centavos per kilowatthour is welcome news to the public burdened by rising power costs.
