In terms of absolute numbers, for the first 9 months of 2020, Meralco bought P1.601 billion kwh of electricity from Quezon Power at an average price of P6.73 per kwh. The average price of all other coal power suppliers to Meralco for that period is about P4.20 per kwh. This means Meralco paid Quezon Power P2.53 per kwh higher than the average or at a total cost of P4.05 billion premium this year 2020. That P4.05 billion had been passed on to Meralco consumers," said Tan.
