Utilities & Mobile Electricity price.

Good Morning.
Could someone from Dumagute or area, please tell me what your local electricity provider is charging for there Generation system charge, as mine has seemed to have increased again.
according to my latest bill it is now P5.01244 / kw.
I am assuming that this is the actual amount of power consumed & the rest of the bill is made up rubbish which cost's you almost double the bill .
Thanks....

 

On my just received March bill the generating price is 6,4134 !!?? This is in Amlan with Noreco2. This makes a end p[rice of P11,072 per kw. Over the year 2009 I paid P 6,53 per kw.
Also the used kw is about 25% higher than normal. They did the same with the last price increase. The two months before the bill was lower than normal and then with the increase they let you pay the increased price for electricity used before the increase.
Smart or criminal???

 

Its such a rip off, I have read that this country has the most expensive charges too.
I live on the Occ side of Negros & have to use NOSECO, No doubt a sister company of your provider, I guess when you have the monopoly you can do what you want.
It would be interesting to see how much Meralco charge.i

 

The money surely do not go into maintenance altough the service is much better now in Amlan.
The P11,07 kw/h I pay now is 20,5 eurocent.., In Holland , no brown outs no low currency, the curreent average kw/h price is 22 eurocent whereof 7 cent for electricity + 3,5 cent VAT + 11 cent energie tax!!!! So the generating charges (lower than here) triples in the the PH it nearly doubles.

 

Check out the link to try !! to understand why electricity is so expensive here, Especially the second UTube window towards the bottom of the page.
I think my brain has exploded !

We definitely pay a premium price for a sub-par service. Most times we can't even run our window unit a/c's due to the moaning and groaning of them trying to run. We pay for 220 volt and are only getting an average of 172-185 most days. Our microwave doesn't function well and our can opener can't open a can to save it's soul!! If you don't have a dedicated transformer, you better have all of your precious electrical equipment hooked up to AVR's. We have our split unit, tv, and computers on AVR's, and are getting ready to invest 10,000php more to hook our window units up to AVR's. That still leaves our kitchen appliances unprotected, God forbid we lose them!! You know, if you were going to buy a case of beer, and that case only had 18 cans of beer instead of 24, are you still going to pay full price??!! Heck No!! Well, here, that is exactly what we are doing!! We are paying full price for that case!! Okay, off my soapbox...........

 

As long as oil prices stay high, electricity prices will remain high. Look at what the local electric company uses for fuel, and imported, over-priced fuel at that! The answer is low cost energy! Which one? Go knock on your electric companies door and suggest some alternatives!

Try generating your own electricity and see how much it costs!!
