Albay Gov. Joey Salceda said that those aiming at Meralco should focus their attention at independent power producers that supply electricity to the Lopez family-controlled firm. "If you'd ask me, the root cause of why we have high power rates is the IPP that the government contracted from 1992 to 1998, nothing else," Salceda, also a former Malaca�±ang official, told radio dzMM's "Dos Por Dos" morning program. Salceda said he has asked questions on why critics have kept on picking on Meralco, which is Luzon's largest power distributor. "Why pick on Meralco? I asked, why not Meralco IPPs?" The Albay chief executive said that if critics pick on one company, they should scrutinize all the others. Related Link • Q & A with GSIS president Winston Garcia "If you do to one, you should do to all. If you cannot do to all, then don't do it at all," he said. Salceda said that the government can use the Electric Power Industry Reform Act to review IPP contracts. "Supposedly under Epira, we have a review of IPPs so this has happened but if you look at it carefully, we did not negotiate it thoroughly so I said why not do a second review since Epira does not prohibit a second review?" It's the IPP, dummy Salceda also that what the President has been saying about high power rates in the country is really about IPPs, nothing else. "Only, she hasn't been able top give it straight, because it's so sophisticated," he said. The governor added that besides, discussing the role of IPPs is complicated since these have no "personalities" to speak of. "Meralco has a personality because it bills us every day," He said that if only the IPPs bill each customer for the electricity used per day, then, the issue about high power rates would get clearer. "If you ask me, its the Meralco's IPP," he said. The problem with high power rates, Salceda explained, lies not with the distributor but rather, the one that generates electricity. 1990s problem He said the issue is rooted in the 1990s during the period of rotating brownouts in Luzon. "The government pressed to enter into generation and Shell said it won't develop Malampaya without a power plant and the power plant didn't want to set up without a supply contract with Meralco," he said. Salceda also said that this should be the context use to understand the present situation. But then again, he said, it is easy for people to forget the context of the problem or the decision. The governor also cited the example of Meralco's P9.40 per kilowatthour charge to Metro Manila customers and said that of this amount, only P1.20 goes to the power distributor. He also said that it is wrong for critics to advise Mrs. Arroyo to approve a government takeover of Meralco. "It's bad for the country, it's bad for the poor, bad for the economy, it sends the wrong signal. If that's the case, then the government should run all businesses." He said that the idea of the government running all the businesses in the country is an insult to regulating bodies such as the Energy Regulatory Commission in the case of Meralco. is the online news department of ABS-CBN Interactive Inc., a subsidiary of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp.
