The Aklan
Electric Cooperative (Akelco) may increase their electricity rates in the
coming months.
This is if the
NGCP won’t be able to finish their repairs on the transmission lines damaged by
Yolanda.
If this will be
the case, Akleco will continue to obtain electricity from the GBPC or Global Business Power
Corporation, a diesel power plant in Nabas, Aklan which presently provides
electricity to Malay and Boracay.
Meanwhile, based
on Akleco’s advisory, their rate could reach up to 13.87 pesos per kilowatt hour,
as the GBPC power plant uses crude oil.
In line with
this, Akleco encourages its consumers to be thrifty enough with electricity usage.
Akelco has been purchasing
electricity from different power suppliers for a continuous service for their clients.
