This reminds me that the price of electricity in Mindanao is lower than in Luzon areas or Manila. But I like being in Luzon area since there is less brownout compared to schedule brownout in the province. I am wishing that solar panels would be affordable so that I could be able to avail it.

In the US solar panel prices are dropping, but they’re still pretty expensive in the Philippines, unfortunately. Solar panels are manufactured in the Philippines and then exported.

I am doing some research about PH electricity rates.
when you state your rates, could you specify the city pl.

Hi Nash. I’m in San Fernando City, La Union.

Here’s the most recent rates I paid, too:

May 2011 was P8.66 per kWh.
June 2011 was P8.16 per kWh.
July 2011 was P8.70 per kWh.

P8.70 per kWh is about $0.207 USD.

What is the price of solar panels there now? How much per watt for a solar panel?

The least expensive solar panels I’ve found here in the Philippines so far are P140 per watt (about $3.31 USD), and that’s if you buy in quantities of 2500 watts or more.

policy theres is the More Electricity you Consume .the Electricity Rates that Charge for per kwh wll be more Higher ..example ..if a residential account of consume electricity of 200 kwh a month .the basis rates of electricity that charged was 6.80 pesos per kwh . .when their electricity consume increase to 300 kwh a month .the basis rates of electricity that charged will be 7.10 pesos per kwh ..and when electricity consume increase to 400 kwh a month .the basis rates of electricity that charged will be 7.40 pesos per kwh ..for 500 kwh per month will be 7.90 pesos per kwh …—–..3. ..the components of electricity costs which include Transmission and Generation Charges.

Does anyone know if the Philippines approved Net Metering when using a solar panels? if they did does anyone have details?

Hi Joe. There is the Renewable Energy Act of 2008, R.A. 9513. You can read it here:

http://www.lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2008/ra_9513_2008.html

Net-metering for Renewable Energy is under Section 10.

It’s not clear to me whether this has actually been implemented, in practice, or if utility companies are complying with it.

Hi! Can I ask what is the difference of electricity cost between Philippines and America?

It depends on the exact area, but generally electricity is more expensive in the Philippines than in America. The last time I was in California I think I was paying around $0.12 USD per kWh and I’m paying around $0.20 USD per kWh in the Philippines now.

Hi,here in Puerto Galera ,Mindoro we pay 11.75 peso per kilo watt and have daily brownouts ,next year we will install solar panels on the roof the price this days is around 100 peso for 1 watt, after 10 years the costs are paid and by then maybe the kilowatt hour will be around 20 peso !!!

hi! how much is it to install and register for electricity? considering that we are starting up a small business.

what percentage of electrical rate increase do you get per year in Manilla?? please help us.. thank you

Hi guys,
How much do we need to shell out for water and electricity (meters, etc) if we were to start a business in QC/Ortigas?
Would anyone know how much is the rate/kwh?
Thanks.

For John and Pam, I don’t remember how much we paid to install an electric (and water) meter and start new service. Your best bet would be to contact the utility companies in your area. If anybody else reading has any advise, please share it, though.

Also, I just added a chart to show our electricity price from March 2010 to the present at the end of the original post.

Hi David,

I am a supplier of wind turbines and soar panels so should you guys need help in keeping your cost down, p,ease let us know.

I am helping a family in Taguig with their electric bills. They are very poor. They have 5 fans, no air conditioning and old style TV, maybe 25 inches. They also have a stereo system with speakers. They do not have a refrigerator. They cook using propane.They light their house with electric single florescent tube lights maybe 4 to 6 feet long. I would guess they have maybe 6 to 8 of these lights in the house. They have a desktop computer with an old style monitor and it is on maybe 20 hours a day. They have what is called a sub-meter that connects to a neighbors house. They tell me their electric bill is 4,600 pesos a month. Can anyone tell me if this seems high to you, and if so what do you pay for your appliances? Thank you April 22, 2013

Joel, I’m not sure of the exact rate in Taguig, but that seems high to me for the usage described.

Do they actually receive an electric bill you can look at? All of the connections to neighbors I’ve seen are informal arrangements where the neighbor is paid a flat rate. So it’s possible they’re overcharged.

On the other hand, if there is a real sub-meter that shows the usage, how many kWh per month does it show?

Otherwise, if they could get their own electric meter directly from the electric company and a real electric bill, that might help.
