Electricity rates in May will decrease to P0.5436 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for a typical household largely because of a drop in the generation charge during the month, distribution utility Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) said on Tuesday.
The adjustment brings the overall rate to P10.0041/kWh from April’s P10.5477/kWh. The drop is equivalent to a decrease of about P109 in the bill of a residential customer using 200 kWh. — Victor V. Saulon
