NOCECO ELECTRICITY RATES

NOCECO Announces Adjustments in Electricity Rates for September 2025

NOCECO informs its Member-Consumer-Owners (MCOs) that the total electricity rate for residential consumers for the month of September 2025 is ₱12.3378/kWh, reflecting an increase of ₱0.6850/kWh compared to ₱11.6528/kWh in August 2025.

The main factors contributing to the increase are as follows:

• Generation Charge rose by ₱0.3844/kWh, mainly due to higher rates from the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) which increased by ₱2.0573/kWh, along with adjustments from PCPC and FDC.

• Transmission Charge increased by ₱0.1775/kWh. This is primarily due to higher Ancillary Service Charges, which are costs paid to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) for power procured to stabilize the grid.

NOCECO assures its member-consumer-owners that it remains committed to providing reliable service while being transparent about electricity rate movements, which are largely driven by generation and transmission costs beyond NOCECO’s control.

Consumers are encouraged to continue practicing energy conservation measures to further manage their electricity consumption and lower their monthly bills.
