NOCECO Residential Power Rates Adjustments for May 2026
NOCECO informs its Member-Consumer-Owners (MCOs) of lower electricity rates this month. The total residential rate for May 2026 is Php 11.4510 per kWh, representing a significant decrease of Php 1.7646 from April’s rate. The reduction in the residential rate is primarily due to lower generation and transmission charges, amounting to Php 1.1980 and Php 0.2459 per kWh, respectively.
The decrease in the generation rate can be attributed to the suspension of Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) operations nationwide, which prevented a projected spike in electricity prices. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) replaced market-driven prices with a “Modified Administered Price” mechanism that protected consumers from higher electricity costs.
However, with the resumption of normal WESM operations, industry experts are warning of potential increases in overall electricity rates next month.
To mitigate the impact of possible increase in power rates, we strongly urge all Member-Consumer-Owners (MCOs) to adopt a "crisis-mode" approach to energy conservation. Simple actions, such as reducing aircon usage, switching to LED bulbs, and strictly unplugging appliances when not in use, can significantly lower your consumption and help cushion the blow of the anticipated June 2026 hike.
