look at WESM it went up from 13.7359 for Oct to 33.2160 for Oct. Thats a one month increase of 19.4801 per kwhr in just one month.

So the WESM which is supposed to allow Meralco and other big consumers to buy cheaper power at wholesale price is in effect driving up the price of electricity! Its kinda like an auction where the highest bidder gets the power. Exactly opposite of how it was envisioned

Here is the monthly Meralco bill per kwhr rounded off
March to Apil 2013 11.39
APril to May 2013 10.95
May to June 2013 11.95
June to July 2013 13.06
July to Aug 2013 13.75
Aug to Sept 2013 13.78
Sept to Oc t 2013 13.38
Oct to Nov 2013 14.79
Nov to Dec 2013 16.84

So total inc of 5.45 pesos per kwhr from March to Dec this year! Thats only in 9 months! So ave monthly increase of 0.60 pesos per kwhr per month!

My store's bill went up by 4000+ pesos for this month alone. You do everything you can to save but they take it all away!

surprisingly rainy season from june to november dapat bumaba na price per kw-hr pero mataas pa din.

Power rate hike was put on hold due to the SC's TRO and Meralco gave us an option to pay our December bill with either the previous month's amount or current bill amount whichever is lower. We were instructed to go to the Meralco Business Center to pay and they told us that they will need to recompute first before we pay and the queue line was very long. What recomputation? It is clearly indicated in the letter that we have an option to pay the last month lower billing. It is not like that lah..

This is just prolonging the agony pag ni lift ng supreme court ang TRO balik na sa mataas na price. Gumagana na kaya ang malampaya ngayon?

sabi ko sa mga retail suppliers ng kuryente na nakameet ko ang WESM or Epira is the same as the oil deregulation law. sa una okay na pero banadang huli hindi na pababaan ng presyo monopoly pa din.

bakit: kung irereview mo ang profile ng isang planta ang may ari ay ibat iabng kumpanya din.

this is item that in my honest opnion will fukced all the end users.
