The adjustment, which ends two months of rate cuts, translates to an increase of around P98 in the power bills of residential customers with a 200-kWh consumption.

At a press conference yesterday, Meralco spokesman Joe Zaldarriaga said the higher generation charge triggered the overall increase this month.

Generation charges, or the cost of power procured from energy suppliers, climbed by P0.3407 per kWh.
