The power to choose ... coming soon!
Enlist as part of the electricity market

Retail competition is one of the key objectives of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA). Qualified end-users, called the contestable market, shall have a choice of their supplier of electricity. The EPIRA prescribes a phased-in implementation, from the largest electricity consumers to the household level. In the initial phase, all electricity end-users with a monthly average peak demand of at least 1MW for the past 12 months shall compose the contestable market.

To update ERC's database of the contestable market, we encourage you to enlist with us so we can provide you updates and consequently enable you to prepare for developments. Please send the following information at contestable@erc.gov.ph or aamendoza@erc.gov.ph:
