Negros Electric and Power Corp. (Negros Power) has announced a slight increase in residential power rates for July 2025, citing higher generation and transmission charges as the primary drivers of the adjustment.
In an advisory, Negros Power reported that the average residential rate now stands at P11.37 per kilowatt hour (kWh) up from P11.14 per kWh in June.
While the adjustment may affect consumers’ bills, the company shared encouraging news on the operational front as system losses have declined significantly, indicating that its ongoing infrastructure upgrades are beginning to yield results.
The feeder loss dropped to 7.08 percent in July, down from 8.03 percent the previous month, attributing it to extensive line rehabilitation and network improvements across its service area.
“This is a clear sign that our massive line rehabilitations and network improvements are working,” the distribution utility firm said.
“Every percentage drop means less wasted energy and better service reliability for our customers,” it added.
Negros Power emphasized its commitment to long-term improvements, reaffirming its five-year development plan aimed at delivering more stable, efficient, and affordable electricity to homes and businesses throughout central Negros.
Negros Power further said it continues to position itself as a proactive utility provider, investing in modernization efforts to ensure a resilient and future-ready power system for the region. ||
