ERC approves Meralco recovery of P8.71B uncollected charges

by

The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has approved Meralco’s request to recover P8.71 billion in uncollected generation, transmission, and government charges from consumers, which will be reflected in upcoming electricity bills. This decision will directly increase electricity costs for millions of households and businesses in Quezon City and Metro Manila, adding financial pressure amid rising living expenses. The P8.71 billion recovery covers generation, transmission, and government charges that were undercollected in previous periods; the amount will be automatically added to consumer bills without requiring any registration, though the exact implementation timeline and per-household impact have not yet been detailed.
