[Title] => Setting the figures straight on Meralco
[Summary] => Now wait a minute. What’s all this talk about the government taking over Meralco if the electric firm fails to pay P42-billion debts to state-owned Napocor? What’s this Malacañang line that Napocor president and energy undersecretary Cyril del Callar has yet to tally the exact arrears of Meralco? Finally, what’s with Meralco first acknowledging only P15-billion liabilities, and then insisting it owes nothing at all? Let’s set the records straight.

[Title] => Power whammy
[Summary] => A few months back, this column issued a warning about an impending triple whammy that could hit the country’s electric power consumers. The first whammy is the increase in the generation charges of the National Power Corporation or Napocor. That whammy has already hit us twice, the second of which was the 47-centavo Napocor rate hike in April this year.

[Title] => Time-of-use pricing scheme to boost Meralco finances considerably
[Summary] => The finances of the country’s biggest power distributor, the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), will improve considerably once it applies its time-of-use (TOU) electricity pricing scheme.

[Title] => Power rate cut eyed in Napocor-Meralco deal
[Summary] => Electricity consumers will experience a power rate reduction of an average of 12 centavos per kilowatt hour (kWh) in their monthly billings once the independent power producers (IPPs) supplying energy to the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) could operate at higher levels.
Part of the settlement between National Power Corp. (Napocor) and Meralco is to allow Meralco to source its electricity from its IPPs, namely First Gas and Quezon Power, at their contracted levels. At the same time, the government-run Napocor will reduce the supply of electricity to Meralco.
