The Energy Regulatory Commission on
Friday said no wind developer will likely be able to get the remaining 6.1-MW
excess capacity of the feed-in tariff under the second wave of installation
targets.
ERC commissioner Josefina Patricia
Asirit told reporters at a forum the regulator had expected no takers for the
remaining 6.1 MW of the 200-MW wind installation target.
“By March 15, if no
installation target by DoE, no review and no FIT will be set. We do not expect
any to get the 6.1 MW capacity,” Asirit said.
ERC earlier said only three wind
projects were eligible for the approved P7.40 per kWh feed-in tariff rate. They
are the 54-megawatt San Lorenzo wind power project Trans-Asia Renewable Energy
Corp in Guimaras, 36-MW Nabas wind project of PetroWind Energy Inc. in Aklan and
54 MW-Pililla wind power project of Alternergy Wind One Corp. in Rizal.
The regulator granted a lower rate
to the second wave of wind projects due to the recent developments in wind
technology, such as the efficiency levels of wind turbines.
