Rein in Meralco rates, ERC urged

The Quezon City Council has urged the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to strictly exercise its regulatory powers to reduce the cost of electricity imposed on consumers by power firms led by the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).

In a resolution introduced by Councilor Karl Edgard Castelo, the city council strongly expressed opposition to the high electricity rates being borne especially by ordinary consumers.
