MANILA, Philippines – Ginawaran ng Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) ng interim relief para sa 15-year power supply deal ng Manila Electric Company (Meralco) at GNPower Dinginin Ltd. Co. (GNPD), sakop ang 100 megawatts simula bukas, Agosto 26, 2025.
Sa kautusan na may petsang Agosto 22, pinayagan ng ERC ang dalawang partido na isulong ang implementasyon ng kanilang power supply agreement na isinagawa noong Setyembre 2024 kasunod ng competitive selection process.
Tinatanggap ng interim relief ang proposed total base fee na P2.3055 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), o mas mababa sa dating inaprubahang PSA rate para sa kaparehong power plant.
“Based on its assessment of the evidence submitted by the parties in relation to these parameters, the Commission found merit in allowing the parties to implement their PSA pending the issuance of the final decision in the case,” saad sa pahayag ng ERC.
Sa desisyon, ikinokonsidera ng ERC ang pagtugon sa Competitive Selection Process (CSP) rules and guidelines ng Department of Energy, supply-demand scenario, salient features ng PSA, bid price, at PSA rate.
“Granting this interim relief enables vital power supply agreements to proceed, while we continue to exercise due diligence before issuing a final ruling,” pahayag ni ERC chairperson at chief executive officer Atty. Francis Saturnino Juan. RNT/JGC
