Meralco cuts power rates in Sept
MANILA Electric Co. (Meralco) announced on Thursday that its electricity rates would decrease by P0.1458 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) this September.
The latest rate adjustment will bring this month’s power rates to P10.0732 per kWh from P10.2190 per kWh in August.
Typical households that consume 200 kWh will see a decrease of P29.16 in their September bill; for those who consume 300 kWh, a decrease of P43.74; for those who consume 400 kWh, a decrease of P58.32; and for those who consume 500 kWh, a decrease of P72.90.
“We are pleased to announce that despite the recent figures released on inflation and a slight depreciation of the Peso, Meralco customers can find some relief in the decrease of power rates this month, as this goes against the current trend that we see with other basic goods and commodities,” Joe Zaldarriaga, Meralco spokesperson and head of its Public Information Office, said in a statement.
