Meralco, Humingi ng Paumanhin sa Posibilidad na May Mali sa Komputasyon ng Electric Bill

Dahil sa ipinatutupad na community quarantine upang maiwasan ang pagkalat ng COVID-19, hindi nakapagbahay-bahay upang magbasa ng metro Manila Electric Company (Meralco) kung kaya nag-estimate na lamang ito base sa karaniwang konsumo ng isang consumer.

Ngunit ang tanong ng marami: sumobra ba ang electric company ng tantsa sa singil sa kuryente?

Sa pagdinig ng mismong Senate Committee on Energy kamakailan, mismong Meralco na ang nagsabi na posibleng may "overestimation" sa sinisingil sa kanilang customer.

Ayon sa Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), may 47,000 na reklamo na silang natanggap na may kinalaman sa sobrang singil o magulong bill distribution utilities at electric cooperatives sa buong bansa, kung kaya maglalabas na sila ng kautusan para i-refund ng Meralco at ng iba pang distribution utilities ang sobrang singil sa kuryente.

Idinetalye rin ni ERC Chairperson Agnes Devanadera ang ilan sa mga ipinangako ng presidente ng nasabing power distribution giant.

“May maganda namang nangyari at kinalabasan dahil mismong ang presidente ng Meralco, si Atty. Rey Espinosa, ang nagsabi kung ano ang kanilang mga gagawin at ang isa diyan ay sisiguraduhin nila na may mga corrective measures sila,” ani Devanadera.

“Ang commitment ng Meralco, hindi naman sila magpuputol hanggang September 30. So by that time, corrected na ‘yan at ire-refund nila ‘yung sobrang nabayad. Ngayon pa lang ay nagko-compute na sila. ‘Yun ang maganda roon,” pagpapatuloy niya. “Kahapon naman nag-commit na ang Meralco. Sinasabi nilang ire-refund. Ang sinabi ni Mr. Rey Espinosa ay magpupunta lang sa Meralco at bibigyan na ng refund."


Mga Reklamo

Kung titingnan ang mga hinaing ng customers, makikita na may mga kaso na nagsasaad ng mga reklamo tungkol sa pagkalito nila sa natanggap na bills mula sa ginawa nilang estimate.

“Totoo na may rules ang ERC na dapat ay estimate, pero sinabi rin ng ERC, sa aming advisory, na dapat nakasaad din alin doon ang estimate. Ang pinagbabatayan nga niyan ay ‘yung average ng past three months. Alam din naman natin na naroon na ‘yung tinatawag na load profile,” wika niya.

“Maski nasa opisina, mga bahay, ay may mga lugar na walang pumapasok dahil ipinagbabawal na nga so itong guidelines o advisory ay dapat tinalima nang husto ng distribution utilities kasama ang Meralco,” pagpapatuloy niya. “Nasasaad din naman na the moment na magkaroon na ng meter reading, dapat i-correct at saka sinabi rin naman ng ERC na huwag maniningil hanggang hindi lifted. Doon sa series of advisories na sinabi at ipinag-utos ng ERC na June 15 ang kauna-unahang date o petsa na puwedeng pagbayarin ang mga tao sa installment sa mga bills covering the ECQ [enhanced community quarantine] months – March, April and May."


ERC: Pinagtutuunan ng Pansin ang mga Hinaing

Samantala, tiniyak ni Devanadera na hindi naman napupunta sa wala ang pagpapahayag ng consumers ng kanilang mga saloobin dahil lahat ng ito ay natatanggap ng ERC at pinagtutuunan ng pansin.

“Katulad ng nabanggit n’yo kanina, ang naghain ng reklamo sa ERC ay 47,000 na. Itong mga reklamo na ito, ‘yong nag-text, marami ang e-mails tapos sa Facebook page ng ERC,” wika niya. “In other words, lahat ng mga reklamo, hindi kinakailangang nakasulat o pinadala sa amin o physically pumunta sa ERC, lahat ito na hinaing ng ating mga kababayan ay pinagtutuunan namin ng pansin."

Ang Meralco Bill mo ngayong June 2020? Huwag Magulat kung Sobrang Taas

Mamimigay ang Meralco ng 2 bill ngayong buwan at kasama na dito ang hulugang pagbabayad ng mga customer sa Metro Manila at iba pang lugar. Asahan na na mas mataas ang konsumo na mababasa sa kanila kaysa sa kinasanayang konsumo. Ito raw ay dahil maagang pumasok ang tag-init, at mas lumakas ang gamit ng mga tao ng mga appliances dahil nasa bahay lang ang mga ito. 
Samantala, may option na magiging installment o maaaring hulugan ang electricity bill nang 6 na buwan, mula Hulyo hanggang Disyembre, o apat na buwan, mula Hulyo hanggang Oktubre, depende sa konsumo.

“Sa mga gumagamit ng 200kwh or lower kada buwan ay binigyan ng option to pay ng 6 months. Anim na gives ika nga po. For the consumers na more than 200kwh kada buwan, 4 na buwan naman ang installment period natin,” paliwanag ni Meralco Spokesperson Joe Zaldarriaga.

Nangako naman ng MERALCO na hindi nila puputulan ng kuryente ang mga hindi makakabayad na mga consumer pagkatapos ng mga buwan na itinakda para sa installment.

Matapos mabulaga sa malaking bill sa kuryente nitong Mayo, huwag na raw mabigla kung mas malaki pa ito ngayong Hunyo. Makikita na raw kasi roon ang apat na buwang konsumo sa kuryente ng mga customer. May paliwanag dyan ang Meralco.

Dahil hindi ang Meralco nakapag-physical meter reading due to ECQ, ang ilang March at April bills ay naging estimated base sa inyong average daily consumption sa nakaraang tatlong buwan.

Ang basehan ng Meralco billing estimate ay ang nakalipas na 3 buwan (December 2019, January 2020, at February 2020) na itinuturing na “low consumption” months dahil mas malamig ang panahon kumpara sa mga maiinit na buwan ng March, April, at May 2020. Ang inyong bill ay maaaring naapektuhan ng mga sumusunod:

•Mas mataas na konsumo during ECQ - Mas maraming naglalagi sa bahay kaya maaaring mas madalas at mas matagal ang paggamit ng mga appliances.
•Mainit na panahon na ng konsumo - Kapag mainit sa labas, ang mga appliances na may compressors tulad ng aircons at refrigerators ay mas nahihirapan. Kaya kahit hindi humaba o dumalas ang paggamit sa mga ito, ang konsumo nito ay mas mataas. Sa aral ng Meralco Power Lab, tumataas nang 25% to 40% ang electricity consumption during summer months kahit hindi nadagdagan ang oras ng paggamit nito. At kung mas madalas o mas mahaba ang oras ng gamit nito, mas tataas pa lalo ang konsumo.
• Ang konsumong hindi naisama sa March at April bills ay kasama na sa inyong May bill

Ang Electric Bill Mo ba Sobrang Tumaas, Ito ang Paliwanag ng Meralco

Kinukuwestyon ni Senator Imee Marcos ang pagtaas ng bayaran ng Meralco. "Anong K magtaas ng presyo? Bumagsak na demand ng 30% nitong mga nakaraang buwan, unti-unting tataas sa modified ECQ at GCQ, pero di pa rin full summer load, lalong walang benta, lalong tataas ang presyo. Di ba dapat baliktad? Pag mahina ang konsumo dapat ibagsak ang presyo?" 
Yan ang tanong ni Sen Marcos sa Meralco sa dami ng mga nagrereklamo na biglang lumobo ang kanilang mga babayaran. Mistulang naelectric daw ang mga customer ng Meralco dahil sa pagkabigla sa nagtataasan nilang bill sa kuryente.

MERALCO Pinagpapaliwanay ng Dept of Energy.

Isang ginang ang nagrereklamo kung bakit lagpas ng P5K ang kanyang bill sa kuryente gayong electric fan, TV at rice cooker lang naman ang appliances niya. May mga nagrereklamo naman bakit nadoble, o tumaas ang kanilang mga bill sa kuryente.

Narito naman ang paliwanag ng MERALCO.
Maaaring mas mataas ang bill mo ngayong buwan.
These are the possible reasons:
Para sa mga areas na pwede nang basahan ng meter readers, reflected na ang actual consumption sa May bill, plus adjustments on the March and April bills. Remember, lahat ng April bills at ilang March bills ay estimated based on average consumption for the past 3 months dahil sa #ECQ and in accordance to Distribution Services and Open Access Rules" or DSOAR issued by the ERC.
Maaaring mas mataas din ang konsumo natin ngayon dahil during ECQ, naging #NewNormal ang staying and working from home, at sinamahan pa ng summer. Kaya mas madalas ang pag gamit ng TV, computer, electric fan, aircon, at ref.
For unpaid balances from bills due within ECQ period (March 1 to May 15), pwede mo itong bayaran in 4 monthly installments. Makikita ang 1st installment sa mga May 16 bill dates onwards na sisimulang ipadala ng May 18.

Para naman sa mga katanungan o reklamo, pwedeng magmessage sa Meralco sa kanilang FB / Twitter pages, o magemail sa customercare@meralco.com.ph
or call our Hotline 16211. They can also text 09209716211 for Smart, 09257716211 for Sun, and 09175516211 for Globe subscribers
Samantala narito ang detalyadong paliwanag ng Meralco. 

Understanding Your May Bill

1. I got my May bill today. How come the total amount due is double or more than my April bill?
As part of the ECQ period, some March and all 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.
These past 3 months- December 2019, January 2020 and February 2020, were considered “low consumption” months as these were significantly cooler months compared to the summer months of March, April and May.
Aside from these, the following factors may have affected your May bill:
  • Increased consumption during ECQ- Everyone’s at home, so appliances are switched on most of the time, especially fans and aircons. Aircons which most would use 6 to 8 hours per day before ECQ could be using it for 12 to 24 hours per day in ECQ.
  • Temperatures are at record high (max so far for 2020 is at 37.3⁰C with Heat Index of 42⁰C)
  • 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.
Please see this sample chart in the increase of consumption during this period.
Notes:
Note X is just an example; the actual increase is measured via the actual meter reading.
Note Y - This is based on DSOAR.

To ease your burden from bills piling up, 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. The first installment amount will reflect starting bills dated May 16 to be delivered on May 18.
Please refer to this chart for installment calculations.
Note:
* May 6 bill date is part of the ECQ period.
** Total bill for the months of bills dated May 16 to September will be significantly higher because of the installment. Your bill will normalize starting October.

For some customers whose meters have not been read due to suspension of meter reading in accordance to ECQ/GCQ guidelines, your May bills will still be estimated.
Find out if your May bill reflects an estimated consumption by looking at the back of your bill:

  • Under Metering Information
    Estimated Reading
  • Under Additional Bill Information
    Estimated Reading 2

If your May bill is still estimated, it will reflect the past 3-months (February, March and April) average daily consumption. Adjustments will be reflected as soon as we are able to read your meter and get your actual reading. Please see below illustration:
May 2020 estimated bill sample table
May 2020 Estimated Bill Table
Note: *Estimated kWh Consumption for May is based on the daily average kWh consumption of February 2020, March 2020, and April 2020 multiplied with the number of days in May or ((200 + 204 + 193) / (29 + 31 + 30)) * 31 = 206 kWh (rounded off)

You are assured that once the enhanced community quarantine is lifted and operations normalize, we will be able to read all meters and make the necessary adjustments. You will only pay for what you consumed.
