The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) announced a Php 0.11 per kilowatthour (kWh) reduction in power rates this month. This downward adjustment amounts to around Php 21 in total savings for a typical household consuming 200 kWh per month and represents a total rate decrease of P0.57 per kWh since May 2019.
Meralco Public Information Office Head Joe Zaldarriaga (in photo) explained that the over-all rate reduction this month can be attributed to a lower transmission charge, as well as a decrease in other charges.
