According to a report by Philstar Biz, a non-governmental organization has identified 48 power providers in the Philippines that charge residential consumers above the national average rate.
The NGO's analysis highlights that these electricity distributors are imposing higher costs on households, contributing to the financial burden of Filipino consumers. The report did not name the specific providers but noted that the disparity in rates underscores ongoing challenges in the country's power sector.
The findings come amid broader concerns about electricity affordability in the Philippines, where many households already struggle with high utility costs. The NGO called for regulatory action to address the pricing gaps and ensure fairer rates for residential end-users.
