Charges from Power Supply Agreements went down by P0.3045 per kWh mainly due to lower energy payments for the South Premier Power Corp. emergency PSAs and the resumption of operations of the San Buenaventura Power Ltd. Co. power plant after undergoing scheduled maintenance. PSAs, IPPs, and WESM accounted for 51 percent, 27 percent and 22 percent, respectively, of Meralco’s total energy requirement for this period.
