Good day! I would like to request any data containing electrical consumption of the whole Municipality of Los Baños, Laguna. I have tried asking Meralco directly, but they said it was due to data privacy act that they cannot share such information. It would be useful to us to study such data if it exists since we will use it as basis on creating local ordinances in promoting renewable energy. I hope you can help me regarding this matter. Thank you. Sincerely, Engr. Neil T. Katimbang Engineer I-Municipal Gov't of Los Baños
