The House of Representatives approved on Monday a 10-year extension of the implementation of lifeline rates for low income electricity consumers.

With 208 affirmative and zero negative votes, House Bill 8145 was approved on third and final reading.

Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo, chairman of the energy panel, said the most recent amendment to RA 9136 puts an end to the lifeline rate this year. “This will ensure continuity of the crucial assistance to low income electricity consumers, enabling them to access electricity and improve their lives,” said Gatchalian.
