Iligan Light and Power

What Iligan Light and Power does

Iligan Light & Power, Inc. (ILPI) is a privately held, regulated electricity distribution utility serving Iligan City and Lanao del Norte in the Mindanao region of the Philippines. Founded in 1930, the company operates under a franchise granted and regulated by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), ranking 9th among the 17 largest private utilities in the Philippines. ILPI distributes electricity from the national transmission grid (via TransCO/NGCP) to residential, commercial, and large industrial end-users, including dedicated 69 kV connections for customers such as Republic Cement, PILMICO Foods, and PowerSource Philippines through its AcMac and Dalipuga switching stations.

The company's revenue model is structured around ERC-approved unbundled charges: a Distribution Charge for infrastructure and grid delivery, a Metering Charge for meter reading and maintenance, and a Supply Charge for billing, collection, and customer service. These are supplemented by mandatory pass-through charges (generation, transmission, system loss, franchise tax, universal charge, and VAT) and regulatory subsidies (lifeline rates for marginalized consumers under 100 kWh/month, and interclass subsidies from commercial/industrial to residential customers). ILPI's Distribution, Supply, and Metering charges have remained unchanged since 2013, with rate adjustments limited to pass-through cost recovery mechanisms.

Operationally, ILPI delivers customer service through two physical offices (Pala-o headquarters and Gaisano Mall Extension), four call center hotlines, a website (iliganlight.com), and the ILPI Mobile App launched in 2023 for Android and iOS. Digital self-service capabilities include online bill registration, permit tracking, outage reporting, consumption monitoring, and eBill/SMS enrollment. The company also offers renewable energy programs (Net Metering and Distributed Energy Resources) and maintains partnerships with payment channels including GCash, ECPay, and major Philippine banks (PNB, UnionBank, BDO, Security Bank, Land Bank). Power supply is secured through agreements with NPC, Sarangani Energy Corporation, and a newly filed agreement with Mapalad Energy Generating Corporation.

Revenue model

1. Distribution Charge: ILPI's core revenue from the cost of building, operating and maintaining the distribution system which brings power from high-voltage transmission grids to commercial, industrial and residential end-users. This is ILPI's own unbundled charge.
2. Metering Charge: Revenue from the cost of reading, operating, and maintaining power metering facilities. Part of ILPI's unbundled distribution charges.
3. Supply Charge: Revenue from the cost of rendering customer services including billing, collection, customer assistance and associated services. Part of ILPI's unbundled distribution charges.
4. Pass-Through Charges: Charges collected on behalf of government and other service providers including Generation Charge (from NPC/supplier), Transmission Charge (to TransCO), System Loss Charge, Franchise Tax, Universal Charge (to PSALM), and Value-Added Tax (VAT). These are pass-through costs that ILPI collects but does not retain as revenue.
