ย The overall decrease in power rates is mainly due to lower Generation, Transmission, and System Loss Charges, despite the implementation of the Green Energy Auction Allowance (GEA-All) and RECs Rate (Renewable Energy Certificate Rate)

What is GEA-All?
The GEA-All is a government-approved charge designed to support renewable energy projects under the Green Energy Auction Program.

Key reminders:
โœ” The GEA-All rate is approved by the ERC
โœ” ZAMECO I acts solely as a collecting agent
โœ” All GEA-All collections are remitted directly to TransCo

ย Please note that the Generation Charge and GEA-All are pass-through charges. ZAMECO I only collects these amounts and remits them directly to power suppliers and the government.

ย What is RECs Rate (Renewable Energy Certificate Rate)?

It is the recovery of Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) costs through the REC Rate, in compliance with the Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), as authorized by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) under Resolution No. 12, Series of 2024.

โš ๏ธ Important to know

โœ” The RECs Rate is a pass-through charge
โœ” Electric cooperatives do not control or profit from the rate
โœ” It supports the countryโ€™s clean and renewable energy goals

ย Member-Consumer-Owners (MCOs) are encouraged to continue practicing energy-saving measures to help manage electricity consumption and reduce monthly bills.
