A former commissioner of the Energy Regulatory Commission has filed a petition asking the Court of Appeals to recompute the rate charges of Meralco , which amounts to a total refund of P160 billion.In a 33-page petition for review, former ERC commissioner Alfredo Non said the actual weighted average tariff billed by Meralco should have an independent audit, instead of just comparing the AWAT with reports submitted by Meralco to ERC .

Non cited ERC's decision dated June 22, 2024, and order dated Jan. 25, 2024, which resolved Meralco's recomputation of rates.He asserted that in resolving Meralco's petition, the final rate adopted was "arbitrarily" determined contrary to EPIRA requirements; the ERC ignored other nondiscriminatory alternative approaches; and the ERC decision ran counter to consumer interests and instead lead to Meralco's unjust enrichment.
