An infrastructure-oriented thinktank called on the National Electrification Administration (NEA) to order the country’s electric cooperatives to undertake urgent competitive selection processes (CSP) for additional power supply in order to avert expected blackouts during the summer months.

“The purpose of urgent competitive selection is two-fold: it ensures adequate capacity in our electric cooperatives, and guarantees a fair, lower price for all consumers. The proof is in the pudding: With CSPs in the Meralco franchise area, the price of electricity is at its lowest in ten years, at P8.8623 per kWh.”

This was the statement of Terry Ridon, Infrawatch PH convenor and former House energy committee member.

Tight supply is not consumers’ burden

Ridon said asking consumers to conserve electricity does not discharge electric cooperatives and other distributing units the responsibility of contracting adequate supply in their areas.

“As an example, the use of cooling equipment will definitely increase during the summer months, precisely because of elevated temperatures. But no amount of conservation can address a power deficiency in the Luzon grid as high as 800-MW. Government should be reminded that onus is not on consumers, but power distributors and regulators.”

ERC reforms

Ridon said the lower rates in the Meralco franchise area was also due to reforms in the Energy Regulatory Commission.

“Without the decisive action of ERC Chair Agnes Devanadera on calls to provisionally approve the results of the Meralco CSP, the Luzon grid would find itself in a more difficult predicament due to a greater lack of supply.”
