Higher FIT-All rate to take effect in Nov.
Manila Bulletin
|October 21, 2025
The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has approved an increase in the Feed-in-Tariff Allowance (FIT-All) rate, starting next month, which will slightly raise power bills to generate sufficient funds for paying renewable energy (RE) developers.
In a briefing on Monday, Oct. 20, ERC Chairperson Francis Saturnino Juan stated that the new FIT-All rate is P0.2073 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), higher than the P0.1189/kWh charge implemented last March. This adjustment will take effect in November.
FIT-All is collected from consumers to support RE developments such as solar, wind, and small hydropower plants, as the recent spike has been applied for by the National Transmission Corp. (TransCo).
Juan described the commission's approval of the new rate as difficult decision, as the remaining reserve funds for the allowance are already running low.
