ENERGY Regulatory Commission (ERC) Chairman and CEO Monalisa Dimalanta on Monday began serving the six-month preventive suspension imposed on her by the Ombudsman.

The Ombudsman suspended Dimalanta for allowing the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) to buy electricity on the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) and pass on the cost to consumers without the ERC's approval.
