A cheaper rate with the same power reliability
(generation charge, the "supply")
#1
No added risk of outage
You are only changing where your electricity is sourced (not who delivers it) and will not lose power because you are still a Meralco customer.
​
(distribution charge and others, the "delivery")
#2
Only what will change?
Before you switch, Meralco will replace your meter at no cost. After the switch, you will get your new bill here instead of your old Meralco bill.
​
#3
There is no 'catch'
It seems 'too good to be true' because you are overpaying with a default rate. Switching to a cheaper supplier is your right as a consumer.
This switch costs you ₱0.00
No upfront payment, no additional deposit, and no power interruption. You just pay a cheaper bill—that's it.

--WHERE ENERGY IS SOURCED--
You can get cheaper generation rates from retail electricity suppliers (RES) who compete in the open retail market, in the form of a discount on the generation charge of your bill.
--SUPPLIERS COMPETE FOR YOU--
We pool your demand with other consumers within your community so we could make you eligible to switch to a cheaper supplier and get the best rates possible.

--SAME SERVICE RELIABILITY--
Even if you switch to a cheaper supplier, Meralco still maintains the poles, wires, and meter to your home. They keep your lights on while you enjoy savings.
