RE POLICY MECHANISM
Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)
• the minimum percentage of generation from eligible RE resources
provided by the generators, distribution utilities and electric suppliers
necessary in the application of FiT on a per technology basis;
Feed-in-Tariff (FIT)
• guaranteed payment in Philippine Peso per kilowatt-hour (“Php/kWh”)
for electricity generated from emerging renewable energy technologies
and actually delivered to the distribution and transmission network;
Feed-in-Tariff Allowance (FIT All)
• a uniform charge determined and collected by FIT All Fund
Administrator which would cover the differential above the prevailing
cost recovery rate for eligible RE generation actually delivered;
Net Metering System
• a consumer-based renewable energy incentive scheme wherein
electric power generated by an end-user from an eligible on-site RE
generating facility and delivered to the local distribution utility (DU) may
be used to offset electric energy provided by the DU to the end-user
during the applicable period.
RENEWABLE ENERGY PORTFOLIO STANDARDS
 Initial installation targets for RPS until 2015
SOLAR – 50 MW
WIND – 200 MW
BIOMASS – 200 MW
RUN-OFF RIVER HYDRO – 250 MW
OCEAN – 10 MW
FEED-IN-TARIFF (FIT)
SOLAR – P9.68/kWh (USD 0.242/kWh)
WIND – P8.53/kWh (USD 0.213/kWh)
BIOMASS – P6.63/kWh (USD0.165/kWh)
RUN-OFF RIVER HYDRO – P5.90/kWh
(USD0.145/kWh)
Still under study
FEED-IN-TARIFF ALLOWANCE (FIT All)
Source : Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC)
FD- Total FIT Differential ; CRR – Cost Recovery Revenue; WCA – Working Capital Allowance;
AA- Administration Allowance; DA – Disbursement Allowance
NET METERING SYSTEM
Proposed by the National
Renewable Energy Board
(NREB) to ERC
a consumer-based renewable energy
incentive scheme wherein electric power
generated by an end-user from an eligible onsite RE generating facility and delivered to the
local distribution utility (DU) may be used to
offset electric energy provided by the DU to
the end-user during the applicable period.
CURRENT STATUS
The ERC posted invitation to stakeholders for
comments on the FIT All guidelines;
Further guidelines on the payment and collection
of FIT Allowance has been submitted by DOE to
ERC for review and approval;
FIT and FIT All System implementation pending
resolution of some administrative issues
Thank You for your attention!
