Meralco says power rates down this month

POWER consumers will see a drop of 13 centavos per kilowatt-hour in their February bill because of lower generation charges, according to the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).

The country’s biggest power distributor said the generation charge was smaller because the power supply has stabilized. For February, the generation charge will be P5.54 kilowatt per hour (kWh), 13 centavos lower than January’s P5.67.
