My Utility Bills in the Philippines

[fred]

Our bill for March was P2017
We used 257 kWh

That's P7.85 per kWh and already includes a fairly hefty increase for 2015

Our supplier is Davao Light & Power

So is that cheaper than your power per KWH in the UK?
Is this "very expensive power in the R.P" a myth?
I must say that in Manila it is almost 13 Pesos per KWH so as you say..It depends on the area..Obviously.

I have no idea.
Based on the info from Graham, and based on the simple facts from my electricity bill, then yes. For me it's cheaper per kWh than in the UK

But as Graham rightly highlights, as a percentage of income it probably comes out higher.

The thread was posted to share my costs here versus back in UK. The fact is that I'm paying P2000 per month for my electricity. That's much less than I ever paid in UK
Personally I'd call that cheap.

If I was being billed over P6500 (£100) then I think I'd call that expensive for the Philippines.
I'd be looking to see where all those kWh were getting consumed because it just wouldn't be normal usage. IMO
