Signing of Power Supply Agreement (PSA) with Distribution Utilities

( Click here for downloads)

In the Energy Family meeting held at Bagac, Bataan in late November 2008, Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Angelo T. Reyes instructed the DOE, the National Electrification Administration (NEA) and NPC-SPUG to undertake the necessary activities to formalize the power supply arrangements between NPC-SPUG and its customer Distribution Utilities (DUs). The National Power Board has also mandated NPC-SPUG to enter into formal Power Supply Agreements (PSAs) with all of its customers as a perquisite to the sale of electricity. Any discounts and subsidy allocation from the Universal Charge for Missionary Electrification shall also be hinged on the PSA.

In compliance with Secretary Reyes' and the National Power Board's directives, NPC-SPUG, in coordination with DOE and NEA, organized two consultative meetings with ECs/DUs to whom NPC-SPUG supplies electricity to emphasize the importance of entering into a PSA, and to present a draft PSA for the consideration of all.
