                    [Summary] => Warning to consumers: your electricity will cost 56 centavos more per kilowatt-hour next year.


Rep. Joey Salceda (Lakas, Albay), incoming chairman of the House oversight committee, aired the warning yesterday based on the financial projections of the state-owned National Power Corp. (Napocor).


The projections form part of the four-inch thick budget proposal of President Arroyo for 2002.


Salceda said Napocor is projecting a power rate increase of 18 percent, from P3.12 per kilowatt-hour to P3.68 per kwh, effective next year.
