Cheaper power supply deals and lower electricity spot market charges prompted Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) to slash its rates this month by P0.5260 per kilowatt hour (kWh), the second straight month of decline in power rates.

The reduction means electricity rates in January will fall to P8.7227 per kWh from P9.2487 per kWh in December 2017.
