MANILA, Philippines - The National Power Corp. (Napocor) is seeking suppliers for almost P80 million worth of generator sets for power generation in far-flung communities.
In a public notice, Napocor said it intends to pay P79.4 million for the supply, delivery, test and commissioning of 300-kilowatt (kw) and below diesel- generating sets.
The generators will be used for Napocor’s power generation through its Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG).
SPUG is mandated by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) of 2001 to undertake the electrification of remote villages or areas not connected to the main transmission grid in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Specifically, Napocor will buy 11 sets of 300 kw diesel-generating units, eight sets of 100-kw units, one set of 75-kw unit, five sets of 50-kw units and several step-up generator transformers.
“Bidders should have completed, within 10 years from the date of submission and receipt of bids, a contract similar to the project,” Napocor said.
Interested companies should buy bid documents for a non-refundable fee of P10,000.
“The pre-bid conference shall be open only to all interested parties who have purchased bidding documents,” Napocor said.
The site inspection was held last month while the opening of bids is scheduled on Aug. 17.
The delivery of the equipment is 180 days after the awarding of the contract, Napocor said.
The government allotted P15 billion this year for Napocor, which spends about P1.1 billion monthly for operation such as repair of generator sets and fuel procurement. On top of this, the company still needs funds to finance its debt service.
To date, Napocor-SPUG operates 304 generating units with a total rated capacity of 147.675 megawatts in 86 areas.
Its operation includes a hydroelectric plant and a hybrid wind turbine farm. It also serves 78 island grid and eight isolated grids, providing electricity to 42 customers consisting of 39 electric cooperatives and three local government units.
Republic Act 9136 or the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 required Napocor to divest its assets like power plants and power barges.
After the privatization of the power facilities, Napocor would be left with the function of operating the SPUG and those power plants that will not be sold by the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. source
