ABOUT PRESYO-PH

Power Rates and Energy Supply Overview for the Philippines or PRESYO-PH is a comprehensive platform that brings together electricity pricing and energy supply data from across the country into one accessible and user-friendly space. It allows users to easily explore how much electricity costs in different regions, compare rates among distribution utilities, and understand how prices change over time.

More than just a repository of rates, PRESYO-PH provides valuable insights into the factors that influence electricity prices. Users can examine key cost drivers such as fuel sources, generation charges, transmission and distribution fees, and market conditions. By breaking down these components, the platform helps users better understand not only how much they are paying, but also the underlying reasons behind price differences across locations.

In addition, PRESYO-PH offers visibility into the country’s energy supply mix—showing where electricity is sourced, whether from coal, natural gas, hydropower, geothermal, solar, wind, or other energy sources. This helps users connect electricity pricing with broader considerations such as energy security, sustainability, and environmental impact.

By presenting complex energy data in a clear, organized, and accessible way, PRESYO-PH empowers a wide range of stakeholders. Consumers can make more informed decisions about their energy use and expenses, researchers can analyze trends and generate insights, and policymakers can design more effective, data-driven strategies to ensure affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy for the Philippines.

WHY GENERATIONS RATES MATTER?

Understanding these rates helps explain how power costs are structured and how distribution utilities (DUs) make procurement decisions that ultimately affect consumers.

Largest Component of Electricity Bill

Generation charges account for the biggest share of electricity bills (~50–60%). On a ₱1,000 bill, roughly ₱500–₱600 comes from generation costs.

Procurement Strategy Drives Price Differences

Differences in electricity rates across utilities are primarily driven by procurement strategy. Choices in contract mix—such as long-term Power Supply Agreements (PSAs) versus spot market exposure (Wholesale Electricity Spot Market or WESM)—directly shape what consumers pay.

Source of Power Affects Cost and Stability

Where electricity is sourced determines both cost level and price stability. Contract structures, supplier mix, and generation technologies influence how expensive and how volatile rates become over time.

Procurement Decisions Impact Consumers Directly

Procurement decisions translate directly into consumer outcomes. The structure of Power Supply Agreements (PSAs) and reliance on market purchases flow through to the final generation charge in bills.

Reveals the True Drives of Electricity Price

Understanding generation rates reveals the underlying structure of electricity pricing. It provides visibility into why rates differ across utilities and what drives those differences over time.
