Power Advisory

CENECO OCTOBER RESIDENTIAL RATES DOWN BY P2.0814/kWh

Central Negros Electric Cooperative, Inc. informs its electricity consumers that the average residential rate for the billing month of October 2021 is P10.1788/kWh, a decrease of P2.0814/kWh, from last month’s rate of P12.2602/kWh.

The P2.0814/kWh rate decrease can be attributed to the reduction in generation charges due to decrease in WESM price, transmission, system loss charges, implementation of PCPC adjustment, and other pass through charges such as Lifeline & Senior Citizens Discount and VAT.

The pass-through charges equivalent to P8.9922/kWh of the total power rate include the Generation and Transmission charges, ERC-approved adjustments, government subsidies and taxes. Only P1.1866/kWh of the power rate goes to CENECO through Distribution, Supply, Metering (DSM) Charges and Reinvestment Fund for Sustainable CAPEX (RFSC) for its administrative and operational services. Since 2010, CENECO’s DSM and RFSC rate has not increased.

In monitoring the monthly electricity usage, consumers are advised to look at their kilowatt-hour consumption and not the amount. The amount may vary depending on the pass-through charges as shown above.

CENECO Board and Management continue to remind its electricity consumers to conserve energy to avoid paying high electricity bills.
