Requirements BATELEC II lists
- BATELEC II Net Metering Application Form. It asks for applicant and account details, system capacity and type, transformer and inverter details, a single line diagram, and a site plan sketch.
The ERC’s September 2025 advisory says utilities may only require the application form, the CFEI from your LGU, the amended net-metering agreement and the ERC fee. If an item above isn’t on that list, ask BATELEC II whether it’s still required.
How long it takes
- 20 working days. Under the ERC’s 2025 amended rules, the utility has 20 working days to connect you once your permits are in place. (Ocampo & Suralvo Law Offices)
- 10 working days during the energy emergency. In April 2026 the DOE directed utilities and cooperatives to finish processing within 10 working days while the national energy emergency (EO 110, s. 2026) is in force. Ask your utility whether this still applies. (GMA News)
- Faster LGU permits. Under Joint Memorandum Circular No. 001, s. 2026, LGUs should issue the electrical permit within 3 working days and the CFEI within 7 working days, without extra requirements. (Department of the Interior and Local Government Region IV-A)
Good to know
- BATELEC II publishes its application form and a copy of the ERC's 22 September 2025 advisory, but not its own step-by-step process or fees.
- The ERC advisory says a utility's required documents are limited to an application form, the CFEI from the LGU, the amended net-metering agreement and the COC application fee.
