NOCECO Residential Rates Rise in April Amidst Global Energy Volatility
NOCECO announces that residential electricity rates for April 2026 have increased to Php 13.2153 per kWh, an increase of Php 1.3489 from the previous month. This adjustment is primarily driven by a sharp rise on the cost of power purchased from the spot market, which surged by Php 1.7198 per kWh, pushing the overall generation charge to increase by Php .6764 per kWh as compared to last month. Additional increases were also recorded in Transmission Charges due to high Ancillary charges. Systems loss charge also increased by Php 0.2389 per kWh.
This upward trend was an expected consequence of the ongoing global geopolitical instability and the effects of war, which have significantly disrupted fuel supplies and energy markets.
NOCECO advises member-consumers that these external pressures are likely to persist, potentially leading to continued rate volatility in the coming months. NOCECO remains committed to transparency and encourages our Member-Consumer-Owners (MCOs) to adopt energy-saving measures to help manage electricity costs during this challenging period.
