-VIRAC, Catanduanes- First Catanduanes Electric Cooperative, Inc. (FICELCO) said that power rates in the province in overall are still below P11 per kilowatt-hour for residential and commercial users.
+SAN ANDRES, Catanduanes- Girl Scouts from the San Andres Vocational School (SAVS) participated in helping in greening the environment through a tree planting activity on February 4, 2012 at 8:00 a.m.
-Clarification came after the announcement of National Power Corporation that there will be a P1.43/kwh hike in the generation rate.
+The said activity was undertaken as part of the Girl Scouting Program and SAVS’ Green Surroundings Program.
-According to FICELCO management, the low electric rate is due to contribution of the three hydroelectric power plants to Catanduanes grid. However, they made it clear that the NPC rate hike has yet to be reflected in the power bill for the period December 26, 2011 to January 25, 2012 and will be imposed this month.
+The former is an action plan covering the whole Girl Scouting environment of fun, adventure, and challenges where girls working alone or in small groups live the Girl Scout Promise (GSP) and develop themselves in self-reliance, self-esteem, and service with the guidance of able and caring adults.
-In a computation released by FICELCO, the power bill for January, 2012 will be lower than the bill last November, 2011 except for public buildings. Said decrease is due to the lower generation charge for the month with P3.6900 per kwh compared to P5.1998 for November 2011 since renewable power contributed a big portion of the total generation mix.
+This is also under the eight-point challenge of GSP which is the Challenge of Environment stating that protection and conservation of the natural resources is very important local and global issue.
-Therefore, actual cost for a residential consumer with 100-kwh consumption will be P10.5121/kwh while commercial users will be charged P9.3525/kwh due to lower distribution and supply system charges.
+On the other hand, the school’s greening program is in support of the nationwide endeavor to protect and preserve the environment.
-Moreover, public buildings will be charged P9.1282/kwh while street lights will have P14.5312/kwh.
+The tree planting coincides with the yes-o camp wherein aside from GSP members, students of SAVS and faculty members of the school were able to participate in the activity.
