TYPICAL HOUSEHOLDS in areas served by Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) can expect higher electricity bills this month as the power distributor is set to hike rates by P0.2639 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) due to higher transmission charge and feed-in tariff allowance (FIT-All).
The upward adjustment pushed the overall rate to P12.2901 per kWh in March from P12.0262 per kWh in February, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
Households consuming 200 kWh will see their monthly electricity bills go up by around P53. Those consuming 300 kWh, 400 kWh, and 500 kWh will have to pay an additional P79, P106, and P132, respectively.
