    This document provides an overview of retail competition and open access (RCOA) in the Philippines electricity market. It discusses how RCOA empowers electricity end-users to choose their retail electricity supplier and negotiate better prices and services. RCOA allows consumers with a peak demand over 500 kW to purchase electricity from retail electricity suppliers rather than just their distribution utility. The Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines oversees the RCOA program and central registration of retail electricity suppliers and customers.
