00:00Good news, the discount on Meralko's electricity this January is still possible to be followed by the next bond.
00:10This is Maki Polido.
00:15After the upcoming Christmas expenses, there is a little relief in paying Meralko's bill this January.
00:22The discount is 22 cents per kilowatt-hour or 44 pesos less than the total Meralko bill
00:29if the consumption is 200 kilowatt-hour.
00:32The primary reason is the reduction of the generation charge.
00:35Although there is an upward adjustment of 56 cents per kilowatt-hour in the power supply agreements,
00:42overall, there is still a reduction in the generation charge.
00:47The supply situation on the Luzon grid has improved
00:51because the demand has increased significantly.
00:53Because of the holiday season, the peak demand of Luzon has decreased by 471 megawatts.
00:59This is a little good news for Meralko's negotiator, Herbert,
01:02because the sale of milk tea after Christmas is halved.
01:05It's still low, but it's better because we will have an extra income.
01:11When February comes, Meralko will have a one-time refund.
01:15This is what the regulatory reset experts of the Energy Regulatory Commission asked for,
01:21but the funds were not used.
01:23However, there is also an additional request.
01:25In February, consumers will start receiving the electricity reserve purchased by the NGCP last year.
01:32But because Meralko has a one-time refund,
01:35it is still possible that the electricity bill will go down next month.
01:39It can go down to 10 cents per kilowatt-hour
01:42because Meralko has a one-time refund of 22 cents per kilowatt-hour.
01:46Even so, the NGCP will receive 12 cents per kilowatt-hour
01:51to Luzon consumers starting in February.
01:54But Meralko said that we need to wait to see how much the generation charge will go down.
01:59The bigger factor really is the actual generation cost
02:04that we will be waiting for next month.
02:09We will know that towards the end of the month or towards the first week of February.
02:16Aside from that, Meralko is still waiting for a refund
02:19that can reduce the electricity bill in the coming months.
02:23This came from Meralko's tight schedule since July 2022
02:27because of the regulatory reset of the Energy Regulatory Commission
02:31or the account of how much should be paid to the electricity consumers.
02:36This is a big thing for Edna.
02:38No matter how much she will save from the bills,
02:40she still needs to buy medicine for her daughter PWD.
02:44At first, I didn't expect that I would be able to buy medicine.
02:47Two or three pieces.
02:49I will be able to use it every day.
02:51For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for Tutok Tlaloc, 24 hours.
