The rainy season had brought about lesser consumption of electricity.
That is why the
Aklan Electric Cooperative/Akelco will be implementing a more than one peso drop
off per kilowatt-hour in electric charges this September.
This is Akleco’s
early Christmas as the “ber” months begin.
In the previous
month, August, the charge for residential was 11.14/kwH, however the
Cooperative’s notice states that starting this September this will go down at
10 peso per kwH only.
Meanwhile for
commercial rates, this will also be lesser at 9 pesos from the previous rate
which is 10.25/kwH.
According to
Akleco this cut in the billing is the result of the also lower demand
especially this rainy season.
Moreover, the
rain water brought about by the frequent down pour had also helped in the
operation of the hydroelectric power plant which is the source and supplier of
energy of the Spot Market, thus the lessened rate of Akleco’s purchased energy.
However, Akelco
had also warned the consumers of a possible increase in charges this coming
October.
Akelco added
that this is because the electricity rate depends on the demand, generation
charges and system loss.
In line with
this Akleco still advices the public of wise electricity consumption.
