Senate eyes EPIRA amendment following PBBM’s SONA

Defining the News

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said any amendment in the Electric Power Industry Reform Act should result in lower electricity prices to benefit consumers who continue to be burdened with high electricity costs.

Both Gatchalian and Ejercito made the statement following President Marcos’ call for a review of EPIRA in his recent State of the Nation Address . Gatchalian stressed that the ERC should have enough power to enforce its mandate of protecting the interest of consumers and its charter should foster independence, transparency, and accountability.

The Senate chief already asked the Energy Department and Office of the President for input as the Senate drafts its proposals.
