𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰? Unlike households, businesses consume energy at a much larger capacity. This high demand allows them to qualify for specialized ERC programs where electricity is priced differently and more competitively. 📉 Under Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA), your business is no longer limited to the generation rates imposed by a single distribution utility. Introduced by the EPIRA Law (RA 9136), this program empowers you to choose your own Retail Electricity Supplier (RES), unlocking better rates and greater contract flexibility. At Mabuhay Energy, we turn that regulatory advantage into your competitive edge. Partner with us and enjoy significant savings through our competitive, customized rates tailored specifically for your business.
