DMCI Power Corporation (DPC), the
off-grid energy unit of the Consunji group, posted double-digit sales growth in
2016, with volume reaching 240GWh from 212GWh the previous year.
In a statement, the firm said higher
power demand and dispatch across all cooperatives accounted for the 14 percent
improvement.
Palawan registered the highest sales
growth at 17 percent, rising to 91.27GWh from 78GWh. The upturn was due to the
increased economic activity in the province and the installation of a satellite
plant in Brooke’s Point. Power sales to Oriental Mindoro Electric
Cooperative (ORMECO) grew 11 percent from 46.24 GWh to 51.76GWh, due mainly to
the full year operations of DPC’s 15MW bunker-fired diesel power plant in
Calapan City.
Dispatch to Masbate Electric
Cooperative (MASELCO) advanced 11 percent from 85.81GWh to 94.91GWh, following
a 5 percent uptick in the cooperative’s line connections.
“We are pleased to serve the growing
electricity demand in our service areas. With our continued partnership with
local cooperatives, we can deliver reliable electricity to even more off-grid
communities,” said DPC President Nestor D. Dadivas.
DMCI Power Corporation has long-term
power supply agreements with Palawan Electric Cooperative (PALECO), ORMECO, and
MASELCO. It is one of the biggest off-grid power producers in the Philippines.
