Where do you stand with Renewable Energy?
Meralco is set to add the Renewable Energy Feed-In-Tariff charge of Php 0.046 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) on to all customers bills this month.
What does this mean for YOU?
For a 200 kWh consumption, this will be an added Php 8 to your bill
For a 300 kWh consumption, this will be an added Php 12 to your bill
For a 400 kWh consumption, this will be an added Php 16 to your bill
For a 500 kWh consumption, this will be an added Php 32 to your bill
What is it for?
This is to supplement Renewable Energy projects created through the Renewable Energy Law of 2008. This isn't a direct charge by Meralco, but a mere pass through as ordered by Supreme Court.
So where does this leave the consumer?
In our opinion, INVEST in renewable energy as it not only helps the environment, but helps YOU; the end user save a lot on your daily living expenses. You're being charged/taxed for it, you might as well take advantage!
