Meralco reports that Power rates this December are at its second lowest
since September 2017.

MERALCO continues to lower power rates toward the end of the year as the overall rate for a typical household decreased by P0.0352/kWh to P8.4753/kWh this December.

This is equivalent to a decrease of around P7 in the total bill of residential customers, consuming 200 kWh.

This month’s overall rate is also a net rate reduction of P1.3870/kWh, which is equivalent to a bill reduction of more than P277 for a 200-kWh household since the start of the year. It is also the second lowest overall power rate since September 2017.

Customers may visit their nearest Meralco Business Center, which will keep its doors open during the general community quarantine and accept service applications, payments and other transactions.

As featured on this month’s Meralco Advisory, Meralco has also made paying the monthly electricity bill even more convenient as only the Customer Account Number or CAN, which is printed on the bill, is needed during payment.

Strict safety measures such as the “no mask, no entry” rule, physical distancing and temperature check continue to be implemented. Frontliners are available and ready but strictly follow physical distancing guidelines. Visitors can rest assured that these frontliners have passed the rapid Covid-19 testing authorized by the Pasig City Health Office. There are also acrylic barriers set up in Meralco branches to protect both customers and frontliners.
