ERC Launches Its Website

The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) formally launched its website, www.erc.gov.ph on October 30, 2002. The launching was held at the ERC Board Room, Pacific Center, San Miguel Ave., Pasig City. It was highlighted by a simple turnover ceremony attended by Acting Chairman Leticia V. Ibay, Commissioners Oliver B. Butalid, Carlos R. Alindada, and Mary Anne B. Colayco of the ERC and Ms. Rosario Calderon of the USAID, which funded the development of the ERC website.

With the launching of the ERC website, the general public will now be updated on important issues pertaining to the electric power industry and the Commission’s activities. The website contains general information about the Commission and energy regulations laws, rules and regulations, and other issuances. It also includes ERC news articles and publications, hearing schedules, information on electricity rates, power industry directory, featured topics, and other matters. In addition, the decisions and orders of the Commission will be posted on the website on the same day these are issued.
