MANILA, Philippines – A typical Filipino household consuming 200 kilowatt-hours should expect an additional P125 in their next electricity bill, as higher generation charges and the completion of a refund triggered a rate increase, the Manila Electric Company said.

On Tuesday, January 10, Meralco announced an upward rate adjustment of P0.62 per kWh, bringing the overall rate to P10.90 per kWh, higher than December 2022’s P10.28 per kWh.Meralco said higher fuel prices pushed up generation charges. “Further contributing to this month’s overall rate increase is the completion of a distribution-related refund equivalent to P0.2761 per kWh for residential customers,” the company said.
