Pansamantalang sinuspende ng Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) ang paniningil ng Green Energy Auction Allowance (GEA-All) para sa billing period ng Mayo at Hunyo 2026.
Ibig sabihin, hindi muna sisingilin ang mga consumer sa buong bansa, kabilang ang mga SOCOTECO II Member-Consumer-Owners (MCOs), ng PhP 0.0371/kWh GEA-All rate sa nasabing mga buwan bilang dagdag ginhawa sa gitna ng tumataas na gastusin at hamong pang-ekonomiya.
Tiniyak din ng ERC na hindi maaapektuhan ng pansamantalang suspensyon ang patuloy na pagpapatupad ng mga programa para sa renewable energy sa ilalim ng Green Energy Auction Program (GEAP).

ERC Suspends Collection of GEA-All to Help Ease Power Costs
08 May 2026
PASIG CITY โ The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has directed the temporary suspension of the collection of the Green Energy Auction Allowance (GEA-All) for the May and June 2026 billing periods as part of ongoing efforts to help ease the financial burden on Filipino electricity consumers amid rising inflation and global economic pressures.
Under the advisory issued by the Commission, the collection of the GEA-All rate equivalent to PhP 0.0371/kWh will be temporarily suspended for all electricity consumers nationwide for the covered billing months. The suspension applies to all Collection Agents, including Distribution Utilities (DUs), Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES), and the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).
The ERC explained that the decision was made after evaluating the current status of the GEA-All Fund, which, as of 05 May 2026, maintains a healthy balance of approximately PhP 466.49 million. Based on the Commissionโs assessment, the existing fund remains sufficient to cover the projected payment requirements of eligible renewable energy (RE) developers during the suspension period, including the expected participation of additional renewable energy facilities by June 2026.
ERC Chairperson and CEO Atty. Francis Saturnino C. Juan emphasized that the measure reflects the Commissionโs commitment to balancing support for renewable energy development with the need to protect consumers during periods of economic strain.
โWhile the ERC remains fully committed to supporting the countryโs transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, we also recognize the immediate challenges being faced by Filipino households due to rising prices and global uncertainties. This temporary suspension of the GEA-All collection is intended to provide additional relief to consumers while ensuring that renewable energy developers continue to receive the support provided under existing policies,โ Chairperson Juan said.
He underscored that the ERC continues to closely monitor the power sector and implement responsive measures that promote both consumer welfare and long-term energy security.
โThe Commission will continue to ensure that policies promoting renewable energy remain fair, transparent, and sustainable. At the same time, we are committed to implementing practical interventions that can help cushion consumers from sudden increases in electricity-related costs,โ he added.
The ERC clarified that the temporary suspension will not affect the continued implementation of the governmentโs renewable energy programs and commitments under the Green Energy Auction Program (GEAP). The GEA-All serves as the mechanism used to support payments to eligible renewable energy developers participating in the program.
The Commission will undertake a comprehensive review of the GEA-All Fund status by June 2026 to determine whether the suspension may be extended further, depending on fund sufficiency and prevailing market conditions. # # #
