Mga rate ng Meralco posibleng tumaas sa Pebrero

Inaasahan na magtataas ang mga rate ng kuryente ng Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) sa buwang ito dahil sa mas mataas na pass-through charges. Ayon sa opisyal ng kumpanya, maaaring magkaroon ng pagtaas sa generation at transmission charges dahil sa mga salik tulad ng spot market prices at pagbagsak ng piso.

Inihayag ng Meralco na maaaring magkaroon ng pagtaas sa mga rate ng kuryente para sa Pebrero dahil sa iba't ibang pass-through charges. Ayon kay Joe Zaldarriaga, tagapagsalita ng kumpanya, hindi pa nila natatanggap ang final billings mula sa mga supplier, ngunit ang mga initial indications ay nagpapahiwatig ng upward pressure sa mga charge na ito.

Ang generation charges, na bumubuo ng higit sa 50 porsyento ng bill ng mga konsyumer, maaaring tumaas dahil sa mas mataas na spot market prices sa Luzon. Ipinahayag ng Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) na tumaas ang mga presyo dahil sa mas mahigpit na supply margins mula sa forced outages ng mga coal at natural gas units. Dagdag pa rito, ang pagbagsak ng halaga ng piso ay nagiging dahilan ng mas mataas na generation costs, dahil karamihan sa mga bayarin ng supplier ay denominadong dolyar.

Maaari ring magkaroon ng pagtaas sa transmission charges dahil sa mas mataas na market prices para sa regulating at contingency reserves. Ang mga transmission charges na ito ay bumubuo ng humigit-kumulang 10 porsyento ng kabuuang bill at sumasaklaw sa gastos ng paglilipat ng kuryente mula sa mga power plant patungo sa distribution systems.

Isa pang salik ay ang bagong adjustments sa Universal Charge for Missionary Electrification, na inaprubahan ng Energy Regulatory Commission. Ito ay katumbas ng karagdagang P0.08 bawat kilowatt-hour para sa lahat ng on-grid power consumers, na sumusuporta sa elektrisikasyon sa mga remote areas.

"As these are still initial, the overall rate movement could still change," ani Zaldarriaga. Naglilingkod ang Meralco sa higit 8 milyong customers sa Metro Manila at mga kalapit na lalawigan, at inaasahan ang pag-anunsyo ng final February rate ngayong araw.
