Meralco said Power Lab aims to educate Filipinos about electricity usage and help them understand the impact of energy management in their daily lives.
While the company said consumers can bring gadgets and appliances to the lab located inside the Meralco compound in Ortigas, consumers are advised to wait for the guidelines first before scheduling a visit.
