Mandaluyong City, Philippines, 29 June 2026 — EvoEnergi, a premier Retail Electricity Supplier (RES) and a member of the D&L Group of Companies, today announced the successful switching of the country’s first two residential retail aggregation groups under the Energy Regulatory Commission’s (ERC) Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) framework.
Traditionally, only large-scale energy consumers could directly participate in the competitive retail electricity market. However, under the ERC’s retail aggregation framework, smaller end-users can now pool their electricity demand to collectively meet the minimum 100-kilowatt (kW) threshold required to freely choose their electricity supplier.
The first two residential aggregation groups—comprising nine households in Barangay Blue Ridge A, Quezon City, and 13 households in Barangay Greenhills West, San Juan City—officially began receiving power from EvoEnergi on 26 June 2026, marking the very first day the ERC’s 100 kW retail aggregation framework took effect.
“This is more than a market milestone; it is a major leap forward in achieving the core objectives of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA),” said Julian Lao, President of EvoEnergi. “For many years, households have viewed electricity as a fixed expense with limited alternatives. Through the ERC’s retail aggregation program, the collective demand of residents creates stronger purchasing power, unlocking customized energy solutions that would otherwise be out of reach for individual households”, he added.
“We discovered a powerful reality: the government is actively empowering households and villages to significantly lower their utility costs with zero upfront investment, simply through the power of aggregation,” shared a residential Retail Aggregation Group (RAG) member from Brgy. Greenhills West, San Juan. “This kind of partnership, which empowers electricity consumers even at the household level, is a true gamechanger,”, the member added.
Building on this historic milestone, EvoEnergi is actively forming additional residential retail aggregation groups in Metro Manila. Throughout the onboarding process, EvoEnergi works in close coordination with homeowners, community leaders, the Manila Electric Company (Meralco), the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP), and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to guarantee a seamless transition and strict regulatory compliance.
As the Philippine retail electricity market continues to evolve, EvoEnergi remains committed to pioneering aggregation programs that enable more residential communities to take full control of their energy future.
The signing ceremony was also attended by representatives from ERC, IEMOP, and MERALCO.
