  1. Development of an electronic transmittal of Certificate of Electrical Inspection by the Local Government of Quezon City and the Manila Electric Company (Meralco), which is part of the step on requesting and receiving Certificate of Electrical Inspection (Step 3) to MERALCO franchise. It no longer requires customers to go to Quezon City LGU to undergo the said procedure.
  2. Issuance of the Distribution Services and Open Access Rules which contains the “Early Refund Policy” launched in 2012 allowing a customer who has paid his/her electric bills on or before due date (good payer) for 3 consecutive years, to receive full refund of the security deposit prior to the termination of his service. This has been fully implemented by MERALCO.

UPDATE:
