NOTICE AND INVITATION TO ALL MEMBER-CONSUMER-OWNERS (MCOs)
SUBJECT: ERC Virtual Hearing on IFELCO’s Over/Under Recoveries (ERC Case No. 2026-004 CF)
In line with our commitment to transparency, accountability, and excellent public service, IFELCO invites all interested Member-Consumer-Owners to witness and participate in the upcoming virtual hearing scheduled by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
What is this hearing about?
This regulatory process is a routine confirmation and approval review by the ERC covering the period from January 2023 to December 2025.
IFELCO strictly implements pass-through charges (such as Generation, Transmission, System Loss, Lifeline, and Senior Citizen subsidies) based on actual costs. The purpose of this ERC review is to verify if the rates collected were accurate:
Over-Recovery: To check if the passed-on rates were excessive, which would mean a refund to the consumers.
Under-Recovery: To check if IFELCO collected less than what was allowed, meaning the cooperative under-collected its actual costs.
This hearing serves as an excellent platform for MCOs who have questions, clarifications, or queries regarding how pass-through rates are calculated and reflected in your monthly electricity bills.
