Introduction Pioneered Public-Private Partnerships on Guam Independent Power Producers Performance Management Contractors
History Challenges to address the ongoing emergency and urgent need for adequate and reliable power generation system in Guam Depletion of Personnel Resources Accelerated Load Growth beyond forecasts Increased Forced Outage Rate Load Shedding GENERATION EXPANSION PROJECTS 1993 – Fast Track Diesel (App 93 Mw) 1992 / 1994 – Dededo Combustion Turbine (App 45 Mw) 1995 / 1996 – Cabras 3 & 4 (App 79 Mw)
History- Privatization Phase I 1996 - GPA began emergency procurement for Independent Power Producers (IPP) & Performance Management Contractors (PMC) Marianas Energy Company (MEC) Piti 8&9 - 88 MW Slow Speed Diesel (1999) Taiwan Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Services (TEMES) Piti #7 - 40 MW Combustion Turbine (1997) Pruvient Energy Guam Inc. Tanguisson Power Plant - 53 MW Steam (1997)
History “Load Shedding Blues”
History- Privatization Phase I IPP Responsibilities: Construction, operation and maintenance Performance Guarantees (Heat Rate & Availability) PMC Responsibilities: Rehabilitation, operation and maintenance Management of GPA Employees Performance Guarantees (Heat Rate, Availability, EFOR)
PMC Conceptualization Continued Improvement of GPA Operations Lockbox Accounts Further Privatization Efforts (PMC) Public Utilities Commission strongly recommended the implementation of permanent PMC Cabras Steam Power Plant Cabras Low Speed Diesels Development of RFP for privatization of management of all GPA Baseload Plants.
