    For all of the people who complain about the electricity costs here.

    This is an example of the additional effort the electrical utilities here in the Philippines have to make verses first world countries. Here in the Philippines there is electrical service distributed throughout rural areas. The runs are long with very few consumers who consume very little electricity. Electrical utilities in the first world have a much better economy of scale.

    Watch this video to see how far the meter reader has to walk to read the meters of only 12 consumers. The lack of economy of scale greatly increases the cost. This is in addition to not having local fuel sources for the power plants.
