About RAP Power
RAP Power helps Philippine businesses stop taking their electricity supplier for granted. Since 26 June 2026, a site using 100 kW, alone or counted together with its neighbors, may choose who supplies its power. We find out whether you qualify, what your real demand is, who can sell to you, and what the switch actually involves.
What we do
RAP Power is an independent energy adviser and channel partner to licensed Retail Electricity Suppliers. We are not a supplier and we do not sell electricity. Our work starts with your bills and your meters, not with a supplier’s price list: we read twelve months of consumption, estimate each site’s peak demand, and check the figure that decides everything, the 100 kW contestability threshold.
If no single site clears the threshold, we look at the compound around it. Neighboring businesses served by one utility may pool their demand; we test whether the rules for your area allow it, then model the group as one buying block. When a group qualifies, we run a comparison across licensed suppliers on the terms that matter to a business: generation rate, contract length, bill deposit, metering, and who carries the risk when demand moves. Then we manage the switch itself, so the wires and the utility that maintains them stay exactly as they are while only the supply side changes.
Who it is for
We work with owners, finance teams and facility managers of Philippine businesses whose electricity bill is a line item worth negotiating: bakeries, pharmacies, clinics and print shops in a row of shops; offices and tenants inside one mixed-use building; light manufacturers, cold storage and food processing inside industrial estates and ecozones; supermarkets, schools and hospitals that already draw more than 100 kW on their own. Cooperative members and estate managers are welcome too, and we say plainly when pooling is not allowed where you are.
Who builds it
RAP Power is built and run by Engr. Jhonsen D. Sales, ECE, a DOE Certified Energy Auditor and DOE Certified Energy Manager, and an AEMAS ASEAN Certified Energy Manager. He has completed 27+ energy audit engagements across Philippine industry and commerce, and is the author of The Energy Audit Handbook for the Philippines. The site’s method comes from that work: an audit shows what you never needed to buy, a supply contract decides what you pay for the rest.
Everything we publish about the threshold and its dates is checked against news reporting and the Energy Regulatory Commission’s own issuances, and we cite the source on the page. When the rules change, the site changes with them.
