DMCI Power Corp. (DPC) successfully
sought regulatory approval to construct and operate point-to-point facilities
worth P20.92 million that will connect its bunker-fired power plant in Palawan
to the Palawan main grid of the National Power Corp. (NPC).
The Energy Regulatory Commission
(ERC), in its 33-page decision, authorized DPC to develop and own dedicated
point-to-point limited facility to connect the 2 x 4.95-megawatt (MW)
bunker-fired power plant to the Palawan Small Grid of the NPC-Small Power
Utilities Group (SPUG), subject to conditions.
One, the NPC-SPUG or Palawan
Electric Cooperative Inc. (Paleco), should operate and maintain the facilities
to ensure and maintain the reliability, security and integrity of the Palawan
small grid.
Also, DPC must execute an
undertaking that it will turn over to NPC-SPUG or Paleco those assets not
considered dedicated point-to-point limited transmission facilities or perform
small grid function. Thus, NPC-SPUG shall pay DPC.
DPC was also asked to pay the ERC a
permit fee of P357,287.63.
DPC, in its application, proposed to
transmit its generated power to the NPC-SPUG via a cut-in connection to
the NPC-SPUG Narra-Irawan 69 kiloVolt line, and through the construction and
installation of the dedicated point-to-point limited transmission facilities.
