Last 22 October 2019, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) adopted a policy that Distribution Utilities (DUs) with Compliance Filings with a resulting net over-recovery shall be directed to immediately refund the over-recovery.
In compliance with the consequent ERC Case 2017-026-CF Order dated 05 December 2019, Pangasinan I Electric Cooperative (PANELCO I) has implemented directives to fulfill the refund order. Attesting to this are the Electric Cooperative’s (EC) records submitted to the ERC. Hence, the news issuance statement that the EC is yet to refund the amount of PhP24.9M is in urgent need of updating. The most recent reports of PANELCO I show that they have already refunded the amount of PhP18.7M as of April 2022, leaving only the amount of PhP4.6M to be refunded. ###

The National Electrification Administration (NEA) held a two-day Consultative Conference with the Electric Cooperatives (ECs) from 19 to 20 May 2022 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Pasay City. 113 ECs from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, represented mostly by General Managers, participated in the event.
NEA Administrator Emmanuel P. Juaneza set the direction of rural electrification in consideration of the new national leadership. In protecting the ECs interests, he invited them to ensure that their competency as business entities and providers shall be at par or better than that of the private companies. This entails revisiting their relationship with the MCOs and strengthening linkages with LGUs and members of the House of Representatives.
“We must review our resources for transitioning into renewable energy, it is part of the Philippine Energy Plan”, the NEA chief adds.
