Peak/ Off-Peak Program
The Meralco POP is designed to help corporate partners lower their total electricity expenses through rates based on peak and off-peak periods. Peak periods are hours of the day when demand for electricity and energy costs are high, while off-peak periods are when less plants require electricity and costs are low. With this pricing scheme, corporate partners can avail of lower generation costs by operating even at full capacity during pre-defined off-peak hours, when electricity is cheapest.
