00:00 [News Report]

00:17 The bill for electricity is now more than P5,000 because of the consumption of his own electricity, which is more than 400 kWh per month.

00:27 That's why he is just left with the announcement of Meralco that the price of electricity will increase this March,

00:33 except for the first announcement in February that the price will drop.

00:38 [The bill will increase] It still hurts our consumers. It will go down, and it will increase.

00:47 They say it will go down, but it will increase again.

00:58 Meralco announced that the price of electricity will increase by 2 cents per kWh, which is equivalent to a bill of P5,000 for the average family that consumes 200 kWh per hour.

01:10 Meralco explained that even though the price of electricity was reduced in the generation charge due to the smaller payments to their suppliers,

01:17 the transmission charge was increased by almost 40 cents per kWh, set by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, or NGCP.

01:25 The so-called ancillary service charge was increased by more than triple this month, which is equivalent to almost 52% of the total cost of transmission.

01:42 Unfortunately, this has led to a decrease of 35 cents per kWh in the generation charge.

01:54 If we look at the distribution charge, which did not change,

02:00 the price of electricity dropped by more than 14 cents per kWh from independent power producers,

02:06 including the reduction in the price of FGCP Santarita's Malampaya Gas under the new Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement,

02:13 which is in accordance with the order of the Energy Regulatory Commission.

02:16 The wholesale electricity spot market also became cheaper due to the improvement of the supply condition.

02:22 Meralco is working on a way to reduce the electricity bill.

02:27 Including our day-to-day operations,

02:30 we are optimizing the electricity supply from different suppliers.

02:36 If the supply of Meralco was not optimized, the increase in the cost of electricity would have been higher.

02:43 But because the heat is getting closer and the electricity bill is increasing,

02:47 Meralco says that the new additions to electricity are still possible,

02:52 especially the generation of electricity.

02:55 Meralco is reminding the public again that electricity should be more efficient and save.

03:01 They say that electricity consumption is increasing by 10 to 40% at this time.

03:07 Meralco says that the appliances should be cleaned regularly and checked,

03:11 and the aircon temperature setting should be set to 25 degrees Celsius.

03:15 The appliances should be cleaned regularly if not in use.

03:18 If possible, use natural lighting or if it is inevitable, use LED light.
