MORESCO POWER RATES UPDATE: Due to the reduction in the variable cost of independent power producers (IPP) and suppliers, as well as the huge reduction in commercial rates in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) here in Mindanao, MORESCO-1 says the billing month of August 2023 for residential consumers is less compared to a few monthly electricity prices which is at Php11.2982 /kWh.
