Pursuant to Section 31 of R.A. 9136, otherwise known as the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA), the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) issued Resolution No. 12 Series of 2020 resolving to expand the coverage of the Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA).
The resolution primarily expanded the RCOA coverage to end-users with an average monthly peak demand of at least 500 kW in the preceding twelve (12) months. Moreover, it also provided the guidelines for its implementation such as the recognition of the monthly billing statement from the Network Service Provider as proof of contestability and basis for the retail market transactions, among others.
