The rate translation applied for by MERALCO, upon initial evaluation by the ERC, was found to be in conformity with the Final Determination and with the requirements of the Rules in Setting Distribution Wheeling Rates (RDWR). MERALCO was in adherence with the uniform filing requirements of the ERC. The functionalization and allocation factors were well-structured and supported by detailed analyses. The provisionally approved rates for RY2012 for MERALCO are shown hereunder:

"The benefit of Performance Based Regulation (PBR) is now becoming more evident with these lowered distribution rates of MERALCO and the corresponding improved quality service levels. Note that the same decreasing rate pattern was likewise experienced in the case of the transmission rates approved for the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP)”, ERC Chairperson and CEO Zenaida G. Cruz-Ducut remarked.
