00:00To Meralko's customers, the stock exchange is now ready for the high price that will start in October.

00:07It has been approved by the Energy Regulatory Commission and is possible to last until the next year.

00:14Maris Umali has the news.

00:19Tonio says that he feels nervous and scared whenever they receive their Meralko bill because of the high price.

00:27But it looks like it will last longer if there is a new increase in the price of electricity in the next 12 months, starting this October.

00:36I'm just crying because it's hard. Everything is rising. We are pitiful.

00:47The Energy Regulatory Commission or ERC has approved Meralko's request to ask the customers

00:54for a higher price for plants that use natural gas.

00:58We expect an increase of 30 centavos per kilowatt-hour in the initial estimate of the ERC.

01:05They will be pushed back from January to August because they haven't increased yet.

01:12There will be an additional 2 centavos over the next 12 months.

01:17So in total, our initial estimate is 32 to 33 centavos per kilowatt-hour.

01:25Meralko's ERC should pay more attention to the supply from other plants that are cheaper.

01:33But it's possible that Meralko's customers won't be able to fill higher prices of natural gas for just one year.

01:39Until October next year for the recovery from January.

01:44But we expect a higher price.

01:47As long as Meralko's contract with natural gas plants is alive, this will be the estimated price,

01:52unless they can source a lower LNG or the rate of pollution decreases.

01:59As of now, until 2025 and 2027, Meralko's contract with two natural gas plants is

02:05First Gas Power Corporation and FGP Corporation.

02:09For GMA Integrated News, Maryse Umali-Nagtutok, 24 Hours.
