BACOLOD City – There would a decrease of P0.3685 per kilowatt hour (kWh) in the power rate of Central Negros Electric Cooperative (Ceneco) for this month’s billing due to the reduction in generation, transmission, system loss charges and other pass-through charges.
“The billing month of April 2021 is P11.1353 per kWh compared to last month’s P11.5038 per kWh,” according to Ceneco acting general manager Danny Pondevilla.
In monitoring the monthly electricity usage particularly during the dry season, consumers are advised to look at their kWh consumption and not the amount, Pondevilla said.
The amount may also vary depending on the pass-through charges.
Pondevilla reminded electricity consumers to conserve energy.
In another development, Ceneco set guidelines for those applying for electric service connection.
