Meralco uncertain over increase rate in generation charges
by Ada Pelonia07 November 2023

The power rate increase on generation charges this month is still uncertain, according to Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).

“Wala pang katiyakan kung tataas [yung bayad sa kuryente]. Yung analysis pwedeng hindi yun mangyari eh,” Meralco spokesperson Joe Zaldarriaga told DZRH on Monday, Nov. 6.

Zaldarriaga was pertaining to the power distributor’s forecast on the possible reasons behind the rise in generation charge.

“Ang dahilan nitong may possibility magkaroon ng actual adjustment ay tumaas ang presyuhan sa Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) kung saan kumukuha tayo ng supply,” he said.

“Pangalawa, yung presyuhan ng natural gas na naka benchmark sa tinatawag na world fuel prices nakikita naman natin tumataas yung pandaigdigang presyo ng langis tyaka krudo,” he added.
