NUVELCO Board and management attended the Power Supply Agreement Caravan for Distribution Utilities sponsored by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) on February 16, 2023 in Cauayan City, Isabela. 

The caravan is part of the drive of ERC to discuss issues appertaining to rate increase and clarify matters that affect contract as regards power supply. 

The PSA Caravan is the ERC's grassroots-based efforts to evaluate primarily the generation component of consumers' electricity bills. Generation charge constitutes almost sixty percent (60%) of the power bill and accounts for the cost of power generated and sold to distribution utilities (DUs) by generation companies under PSAs or through the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) which the utilities then supply to their customers.

Salvador and Board Chairman Dominador B. Lapada attended the Sangguniang Bayan of Kasibu regular session on February 13, 2023.

Core of the discussions are the power rate, system reliability, electrification projects, and renewable energy projects. 

Vice Mayor Alberto Bumolo, Jr. expressed his appreciation to NUVELCO for attending their session and commitment to support the cooperative. 

The Board of Directors and management of NUVELCO, in full force, meet with San Miguel Energy Corporation (SMEC) to discuss possibilities to reduce generation rate passed-on to the cooperative. 

In almost three (3) hours of full discussion and airing of sentiments particularly on the plights of the member-consumer-owners (MCOs) of NUVELCO, SMEC assured that they will continue their effort to reduce the generation rate. 

It can be recalled that last December 2022, a meeting was conducted between NUVELCO and SMEC which resulted in a reduction of power rate passed-on to NUVELCO.
