Electricity rates are set to rise in January as higher demand in Visayas and Mindanao pushed up Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) prices last December.
Data gathered by the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) revealed that the system average price rose by 10 percent to P4.38 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) from P3.98/kWh. Demand during the Christmas season held steady at 13,440 megawatts (MW), while supply inched up slightly by 1.2 percent to 20,233 MW.
