Iloilo City’s power utility More Electric and Power Corp. (MORE Power) has accused old utility and rival Panay Electric Co. (PECO) of lying before the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) by altering power outage numbers in Iloilo City.

“PECO manipulated the MORE numbers to artificially inflate the figures. PECO not only double counted, it counted one brownout period 16 times. PECO included in its count two brownouts that did not happen. PECO also counted a longer period than the actual period of brownout,” MORE Power said in its reply to a petition filed by PECO with the ERC requesting the restoration of its certification of public convenience and necessity.
