00:00This is a saving for the customers of Meralko because there is a new additional charge for the month of September.
00:09According to the company, the additional charge is due to the high transmission charges.
00:14The power rate this month increased by 15 centavos per kilowatt hour while the total rate for a typical residential customer is almost 12 pesos per kilowatt hour this September.
00:28This is equivalent to an additional 31 pesos for the total bill of a typical family that consumes 200 kilowatt hour.
00:37Meanwhile, Meralko is also expecting an additional 40 centavos for their generation charges in October until September of the next year.
