Panay Electric Company, Inc., also known as Panay Electric or simply PECO, is an electric power distribution company in the Philippines. It served the City of Iloilo from 1923 until 2019, when its franchise service expired and MORE Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power) controversially took over.[1]
