The overall residential electricity rate this January 2026 is at P11.7187 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), reflecting a P2.0052/kWh increase from last December’s rate of P9.7135/kWh, due to higher power supply prices from the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) caused by several power plant outages in the previous month. Additionally, the implementation of the new government charge, the Green Energy Auction Allowance (GEA-All) under the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) Case No. 2025-127 RC dated December 26, 2025, contributed to the overall increase.
This rate applies to bills received from January 11 to February 10, 2026.
