The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) granted last Dec. 13 licenses as retail electricity suppliers (RES) to Aboitiz Energy Solutions Inc. (AESI) and Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corp. (TA Oil).


This brings to three the number of such licenses issued by the ERC, with the first one being issued to GNPower.


"This is history unfolding before our very eyes. The entry of the new players foretell retail competition and open access," ERC chairman Rodolfo B. Albano Jr. said.

                    [Summary] => 



The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) granted last Dec. 13 licenses as retail electricity suppliers (RES) to Aboitiz Energy Solutions Inc. (AESI) and Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corp. (TA Oil).


This brings to three the number of such licenses issued by the ERC, with the first one being issued to GNPower.


"This is history unfolding before our very eyes. The entry of the new players foretell retail competition and open access," ERC chairman Rodolfo B. Albano Jr. said.
