Any amendment in the Arroyo-era Electric Power Industry Reform Act should result in lower electricity prices for the benefit of consumers who continue to endure high electricity prices, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said Saturday."We need to be able to provide not just a steady and sufficient supply but also affordable energy for our consumers. Any amendment in the EPIRA law should be geared towards reducing the price of electricity," said Gatchalian.
