THE Court of Appeals (CA) has turned down an Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) decision requiring the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) to pay a permit fee.

In the 10-page decision penned by Associate Justice Leoncia Real-Dimagiba and concurred in by Associate Justices Ramon Garcia and Ramon Cruz, the CA’s Special Ninth Division granted the petition for review filed by NGCP as it reversed and set aside the portions of ruling dated August 15, 2011 and order dated November 14, 2011 of the ERC directing the agency to pay a total permit fee worth P685,656.56.
