Retail Aggregation
Combine the load of multiple sites or business units under a single retail supply arrangement.
What it is
Retail Aggregation allows a customer to combine the consumption of multiple metered sites — under common ownership or a defined aggregation group — into a single supply arrangement with a Retail Electricity Supplier. This is particularly relevant for businesses with branches, malls with tenants, or institutional groups operating from several locations.
Why aggregate
Aggregation typically improves commercial terms by combining purchasing power, simplifies administration to a single supply contract and invoice stream, and provides consolidated reporting across the portfolio. It also enables more sophisticated load-shape strategies than would be available to any single site on its own.
How aggregation is structured
Each participating site remains separately metered and continues to interface with its local distribution utility for wheeling, but the supply leg is consolidated. The aggregation agreement defines how charges are allocated back to participating entities and how additions or removals from the aggregation group are handled.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Retail Aggregation Program?
The Retail Aggregation Program (RAP) lets multiple smaller consumers combine their electricity demand to reach the 100 kW threshold and qualify for retail supply together. Rockport Power acts as the aggregating retail supplier, consolidating the supply arrangement under one contract for the participating group.
Who can aggregate under RAP?
Multiple facilities whose combined average peak demand reaches at least 100 kW may aggregate, provided they sit within the same distribution utility franchise area and each participating site has eligible metering. Branches, mall tenants, and institutional groups are typical candidates for aggregation.
How is billing handled in an aggregation?
Each participating site remains separately metered and keeps its relationship with the local distribution utility for wheeling, while the supply leg consolidates into a single contract and invoice stream. The aggregation agreement defines how charges are allocated back to each participating entity.
Why aggregate instead of contracting alone?
Aggregation combines purchasing power, which typically improves commercial terms; simplifies administration to one supply contract; and provides consolidated reporting across the portfolio. It also opens retail-market access to sites that could not meet the contestability threshold on their own. Rockport Power manages the structure end to end.
What does an aggregation group need to start?
A clear commercial arrangement among participants, a common designated representative authorised to contract for the group, and either contestable status per site or a combined load qualifying under aggregation thresholds. Rockport Power helps document the group and coordinates enrollment with the distribution utility.

Power of choice starts here.
The Customer Choice Programs (CCP) let qualified Philippine businesses — single facilities with at least 100 kW average peak demand, or aggregated groups reaching 100 kW — choose their electricity supplier through three pathways: CREM, GEOP, and RAP. Rockport Power, Inc., an ERC-licensed retail electricity supplier, serves all three.
