CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro — The Oriental Mindoro Electric Cooperative (ORMECO) has increased its generation charge for the June 2026 billing period by P0.4043 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), raising the rate from P17.8864/kWh in May to P18.2907/kWh.

In a public advisory, ORMECO said the increase was meant to address the recovery of deferred generation costs incurred in May and its continued dependence on more expensive emergency power sources to meet the province’s electricity demand.
