#meralco may bill

Meralco has explained why there's a sudden increase in the electric bill of consumers for the month of May. In an advisory, Meralco explained that March and April bills were estimated based on the past 3 months' average daily consumption following the Distribution Services and Open Access Rules (DSOAR) issued by the ERC. The company also raised the following factors as to what affected your May bill: • Increased consumption during ECQ- Everyone’s at home, so appliances are switched on most of the time, especially fans and aircon. • Actual Consumption minus Estimated Consumption was added in the May bill. The May bill is a result of the actual kWh Consumption from the current meter reading, less the estimated consumption. When the meter reading resumed in May, the differences were then added to your current bill, making it higher. Your bill will be corrected by computing the actual consumption taken from the difference of the May and the March or February reading, whichever is applicable. Installment Meralco says that unpaid bills with due date from March 1 to May 15, 2020 (bill date from Feb 21 to May 6) will be converted to 4 equal monthly installments.
