<strong>ERC sets plan to visit Bohol soon</strong>

A team from the Energy Regulation Commission (ERC) will visit Bohol soon to inspect the power supply status in the province.

Reports say that ERC chairman Monaliza Dimalanta and Engr. Jun Galang were consulted about the power supply concerns of Bohol and the commission officials decided to come to the province to inspect the real situation.

The main concern of Boholano consumers is the price of electricity. Not only few, but many Boholanos have been expressing their woes about the high price of electricity. 

Based on the statements of Board Member Aldner Damalerio, he said that the generation charge is the main reason for the high cost of electricity. This generation charge is being passed on to consumers, Damalerio added. He also said that the high cost of fuel and coal is the main reason that the generation charge is costly.

In a related development, it was reported that the ERC will take a look at how the local distribution utilities ultimately shift their source of power from traditional fuel to renewable energy.

By the end of 2023, majority of Bohol’s power will come from geothermal sources from plants of the Energy Development Corporation.
