Have you been to the gas station lately? Seeing diesel hit ₱80 per liter is painful. But the problem isn’t just at the pump. When gas prices go up, everything else follows.
Right now, electricity rates are hitting almost ₱14 per unit (kWh). Why? Because the Philippines still uses a lot of oil and coal to make electricity. When global oil prices go up, your bill goes up automatically.
Why High Gas Prices Make Your Electric Bill Explode
You may ask, “I don’t use gas to turn on my lights, so why is my bill higher?” The answer is the power plants charge more than half of your bill as a Generation Charge. Every time you turn on your electric fan, you are essentially paying for the high cost of oil because the majority of that fuel is imported.
Why 2026 is the Best Time to Switch Solar
Filipinos can now switch to solar power more easily thanks to the government.
Fast Permits – In the past, paperwork took months. Now, new rules mean your local government has to approve your solar permits in just 3 days.
Earn Credits – With Net Metering, any extra electricity your panels make during the day is sold back to the utility grid. They give you credits that make your night-time bill even cheaper.
