Meralco rates up by 0.26 per kWh

Meralco customers can expect higher charges on their power bills this month, with the overall rate going up by P0.2639 per kilowatt-hour.

- By BRIX LELIS

The adjustment brings the overall rate to P12.2901 per kWh in March—from last month's P12.0262 per kWh—equivalent to an increase of around P53 for typical households consuming 200 kWh.

At a press conference yesterday, Meralco spokesman Joe Zaldarriaga attributed the rate hike to the absence of a one-time refund on the reset fee, along with higher transmission charges and feed-in tariff allowance (FIT-All).

This month's transmission costs went up by about P0.13 per kWh, mainly due to higher ancillary service charges—fees that support services essential for stabilizing the power grid.
