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. To be eligible, we just need to find others to aggregate you with.

--WHERE ENERGY IS SOURCED--
CONSUMERS
(YOU)
You can get cheaper rates from retail electricity suppliers (RES) who compete in the open retail market so you could get lower generation charges on your bill.
--BECOMING ELIGIBLE THRU US--
We pool your demand with others in your community to reach the 100kW threshold set by ERC so we could make you eligible to switch to a cheaper supplier.
--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.
