Power of choice starts here.
Whether your goal is lowering electricity costs, advancing sustainability initiatives, or gaining greater control over your energy supply, the Customer Choice Programs provide pathways to help you get there.
What are the Customer Choice Programs?
The Customer Choice Programs (CCP) are initiatives under the Philippine electricity market reform framework that give eligible customers greater freedom in how they source electricity. Through these programs, customers may choose a licensed Retail Electricity Supplier (RES), access renewable energy options, or aggregate electricity demand with other customers to participate in the retail market.
The three pathways
Today, the CCP framework consists of three pathways: the Competitive Retail Electricity Market (CREM), the Green Energy Option Program (GEOP), and the Retail Aggregation Program (RAP). Rockport Power is an ERC-licensed Retail Electricity Supplier authorized to serve customers under all three programs.
EPIRA and market reform
The Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) was enacted to promote competition, efficiency, transparency, and consumer choice in the Philippine power sector. As part of this transformation, the Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) framework was introduced to allow eligible electricity customers to choose their preferred supplier rather than relying solely on their local Distribution Utility (DU) for electricity supply.

Which program is right for you?
Different customers have different energy priorities. Some are looking for opportunities to optimize electricity costs. Others want to support sustainability initiatives through renewable energy. Some simply want greater flexibility and control over their electricity supply. Whether your goal is cost management, renewable energy adoption, or access to the retail electricity market, the Customer Choice Programs provide pathways designed to meet diverse energy requirements.
Frequently asked questions
What is a contestable customer?
A contestable customer is an electricity end-user that meets the demand threshold established by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) and is therefore eligible to choose its electricity supplier under the Retail Competition and Open Access framework.
How do I know which CCP is right for me?
The most suitable program depends on your electricity demand, operational requirements, sustainability objectives, and eligibility. Our team can evaluate your consumption profile and recommend the most appropriate program for you.
Do I need to change my Distribution Utility?
No. Your Distribution Utility continues to operate and maintain the network that delivers electricity to your facility. Participation in a Customer Choice Program only changes the source of your electricity supply.
