The Marcos Administration will roll out next month the Lifeline Rate program, which aims to benefit qualified low-income households to help them pay their electricity bills, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said. READ:
The Lifeline Rate is a subsidized rate given to qualified low-income electricity customers who cannot pay their electricity bills at full cost.
"In case there are more than one beneficiaries who apply for the lifeline rate from the same household, using the same service account, only one application will be granted with lifeline rate while the remaining application/s will be disapproved," she said. If they do not avail themselves of the Lifeline Rate through Meralco, they will have to shell out more or less P250.
Households with 71-100 kWh usage who apply for the program will only pay P904.21 but will pay the undiscounted rate of P1,099.10 should they opt out of the Lifetime Rate.
