Lower Electricity Bills Expected This Month in the Philippines

Electricity Bills to Decrease in the Philippines: NGCP Announces Lower Transmission Charges The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has announced a significant decrease in transmission charges for the month of April, resulting in lower electricity bills for consumers nationwide. The reduction, ranging from ₱0.43 to ₱1.0904 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), is a welcome relief for Filipinos grappling with rising costs of living. "Asahang bababa ang singil sa kuryente ngayong buwan," stated a GMA News report, highlighting the impact of the NGCP's decision. The decrease is attributed to lower demand and a gradual decline in temperatures, according to the NGCP. The difference in transmission charges between March and April is substantial. In March, the charge was ₱1.5240/kWh, while in April it dropped to ₱1.0904/kWh. This reduction is expected to translate into savings for households and businesses alike. The lower electricity bills offer a glimmer of hope for Filipino consumers, easing the financial burden during these challenging economic times. The NGCP's proactive measure demonstrates a commitment to providing affordable and reliable electricity services to the nation.
