Customers of the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) will see another round of increase in their household electricity rate this month as the peso’s depreciation against the US dollar due to the Middle East crisis drove up generation costs.
In an advisory on Friday, Meralco announced an increase of 53 centavos per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in its power for April 2026.
The upward adjustment translates to an increase of P106 in this month’s bill of a typical household consuming 200 kWh. —VAL, GMA News
