What this means for your bill

At ₱13.70 per kWh, every 100 kWh you use costs about ₱1,370. A home using 200 kWh a month would pay roughly ₱2,740 before any differences in charges at that consumption level. That’s an estimate — your bill shows your actual rate.

The generation charge is the cost of the electricity itself and usually the biggest part of the rate. It also determines how exported solar energy is credited under net metering.
