The highest court of the land has spoken with finality that Meralco had overcharged its three million customers since 1994 with an amount that could reach a staggering P28 billion.

That the Lopez-led distributor should refund the same and reduce its rates by 16.7 centavos per kilowatthour is welcome news to the public burdened by rising power costs.

The Supreme Court third division headed by Justice Reynato Puno gave the government 10 days to refute the allegations made by the country’s largest power distributor in its appeal submitted to the high tribunal early this month.

Meralco lawyers led by retired Supreme Court Justice Camilo Quiason said it was "foul play" for both institutions to have allowed them in 1993 to use the rates they have adopted only to reverse themselves five years later, which became the basis for the alleged overcharging.
