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 NORECO II whether it’s still required.

Fees

FeeAmount
ERC Certificate of Compliance fee (manager's check payable to the ERC)₱1,500.00

LGU permit fees (electrical permit, CFEI) are separate and vary by city or municipality.

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

  • The page has no date and does not give processing times.
  • NORECO II's page asks for a notarized Net Metering Agreement. The ERC's 22 September 2025 advisory says notarization is not mandatory and e-signatures are allowed. It also limits required documents to an application form, the CFEI, the amended agreement and the COC fee. Ask NORECO II which items are still required.
