HIGHER TRANSMISSION charges for July will be reflected in power bills for August, after the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) moved to collect its maximum allowable revenue (MAR).

In a briefing on Wednesday, Julius Ryan D. Datingaling, NGCP head of business and regulatory development, said overall transmission rates increased by 9.25% month on month to P1.3233 per kilowatt-hour (kWh).

“The increase of the transmission rates is due to the new revenue of P58 billion and the under-recoveries of P28 billion, plus the decrease in energy consumption,” he said.

‘Transmission wheeling rates, or what NGCP charges for its primary service of delivering electricity, rose 28.5% to 0.5923 per kWh.

Ancillary service (AS) charges declined 5% to PO.5872 per kWh.
