How much more will I pay?

IF you have several appliances at home, including an airconditioner, you may be consuming 200 kilowatt hours a month.

Based on a  sample computation of  the impact of the June rate hike  of  the Visayan Electric Company (Veco) for a consumer of 200 kwh, the private utility said you can expect to pay P204 more this month.

The Veco chart showed that  consumption of  200 kwh would cost an average of P10.03 per kwh in May, before the rate hike.

That would amount to P2,006 on your electric bill.

After the generation rate increase in June, the average cost of power would be P11.05 per kwh.

In your bill, that would be refleted as P2,210.

The difference is P204 to the household customer.
