The Energy Regulatory Commission is seeking collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development for the review and updating of the list of beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program , which will also be the basis for the grant of subsidies or discounted electricity rates to marginalized end-users.
At this stage, she noted that the main agreement between the ERC and DSWD is to purge from the list of lifeliners the consumers who are living in condominium units as well as those in gated communities. The determination of the subsidy rates to be extended to the qualified marginalized end-users had been vested as an authority to be exercised by the ERC, being the regulator of the restructured power industry.
In the initial implementation of lifeline rate subsidy under Section 73 of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act , the tariff discounts ranged from 25 to 75-percent depending on the magnitude of power usage of the marginalized end-user or poor household customer – and the consumption range considered had been from zero to 100 kilowatt-hours.
