IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT LIGHT & power

Walang Kabuhay - buhay

Ang kuryente ay nagpapagaan ng buhay

 Pabigat sa industriya (26% cost of production)  Pabigat sa bulsa ng manggagawa (10% - 20% of income) Pero Sa pilipinas Ito ay pampabigat

 Unbundling of rates  Separation of Generation from Transmission  Privatization of NPC  Establishment of Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM)  Retail Competition and Open Access EPIRA regime

EPIRA’s main objectives  Create competition in the industry  Ensure efficiency, reliability and security of electricity supply  Bring down rates

20 “While the government is receiving expressions of interest to expand existing plant or put up new plants with a total capacity of 5,023 MW, these are still at the different stage of development. Thus, there is still a possibility that these could not proceed to development status. With these, the government may need to involve itself once again into power generation to avoid power shortages in the future and keep hold of the current momentum being enjoyed as an investment attractive economy.” On security of supply 19 th EPIRA Implementation Status Report April October 2011, DoE

The market is highly concentrated as these three groups control more than 70% of the generating capacity in Luzon. The share of others including AES, DMCI and Quezon Power Phils. are less than 7% each. The total energy sales and consumption (including own use and system loss) in Luzon account for 74% of the total Philippines. Visayas and Mindanao has each 13% of the total energy consumption.
