Defining the News

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian is pushing for lower electricity rates in Palawan following the recent rate hikes by the Palawan Electric Cooperatives .

PALECO had earlier entered into two Emergency Power Supply Agreements following an order issued by the Energy Regulatory Commission to terminate its power supply agreement with Delta P, Inc. for 20 megawatts because it wasn’t compliant with the competitive selection process requirement of the DOE. As the two EPSAs are not entitled to the UC-ME subsidy, the blended generation charge of consumers has increased from P6.9520 in October 2023 to P9.7858 in February 2024, accounting for an increase of 45.94%.

“Given that the force majeure or fortuitous event is beyond the control of the distribution utilities, then consumers should not be penalized for it,” Gatchalian told Lotilla.
