Fifteen large power users asked the Energy Regulatory Commission to issue temporary restraining orders and cease and desist orders preventing retail electricity suppliers from disconnecting their supply.
They said the suppliers breached their supply contracts by imposing higher charges beyond what was agreed and wanted to impose fuel cost recovery adjustments because of the alleged extraordinary increases in fuel costs.
The power users said the RES cited a change in circumstance due to “the unprecedented increases in the global price of oil, coal and gas and other fuel sources” to increase the rates.
Among the companies that filed the cases with the ERC are Winsome Development Corp., Taifini Copper & Conductor, Inc., Quanta Paper Corp., Air Liquide Pipeline Utilities Services Inc. – Balamban, Air Liquide Phils. Inc., Air Liquide Pipeline Utilities Services, Inc., Willin Sales Inc., Waltermart Ventures Inc., WJ Global Inc. and California Garden Square Condominium Association Inc.
