Change from the previous month

The rate rose ₱0.2234/kWh from January 2026’s ₱12.95/kWh to February’s ₱13.1734/kWh. See Meralco rate for January 2026 for that figure. The rise continued into March, which climbed further to ₱13.8161/kWh — see Meralco rate for March 2026.

What this means for solar

At ₱13.1734/kWh, every kWh a rooftop system produces and you use immediately is a kWh you avoid buying from Meralco at that price. That’s the mechanism behind solar savings here: self-consumption avoids the full retail rate, while net metering credits exported power only at the lower generation cost, so a system sized for daytime use pays back faster than one built to export.
