More Electric and Power Corp. opened on-site registration in barangays to process applications of customers qualified for lifeline rate subsidy under the Electric Power Industry Reform Act to reach more Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program members and marginalized sectors.

MORE Power president and chief executive Roel Castro said they would get in touch directly with the groups concerned so more qualified customers could avail of the program.

“In addition to accepting applications in our office, we also deploy personnel to barangays for on-site registration,” Castro said.

MORE Power said it received 1,519 applications from 42 barangays as of Aug. 2.

The power retailer in Iloilo advised its customers to visit their official Facebook page for the exact date and venue of barangay on-site registration.

The Department of Energy extended the full rollout of the subsidy application  until September due to low application turnout. Castro urged eligible applicants to take advantage of the subsidy program as MORE Power brought the application closer to customers.
