NEGROS Power has announced that there is slight increase in residential electricity rates for July 2025.
Jonathan Cabrera, spokesman for Negros Power, said in a statement that they attributed the slight increase due to the higher generation and transmission charges as the primary drivers of the adjustment.
He said the average residential power rate now stands at P11.37 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), up from P11.14/kWh in June.
While the adjustment may affect consumers’ bills, he said the company shared encouraging news on the operational front, the system losses have declined significantly, indicating that its ongoing infrastructure upgrades are beginning to yield results.
Cabrera noted that the feeder loss dropped to 7.08 percent in July, down from 8.03 percent the previous month.
“Thanks to extensive line rehabilitation and network improvements across the service area,” Cabrera said.
He said this is a clear sign that the company’s massive line rehabilitations and network improvements are working.
“Every percentage drop means less wasted energy and better service reliability for our customers,” he added.
Negros Power emphasized its commitment to long-term improvements, reaffirming its five-year development plan aimed at delivering more stable, efficient, and affordable electricity to homes and businesses throughout Central Negros.
“We truly appreciate your understanding and support as we pursue our vision of better service. Thank you for being our partners in this journey,” Cabrera said.
He said Negros Power continues to position itself as a proactive utility provider, investing in modernization efforts to ensure a resilient and future-ready power system for the region. (MAP)
