| Summary: | The objective of this study is to
identify options, taking into account the circumstances of
the Philippines, and distill lessons learned from the
Philippine experience. The World Bank intends to ultimately
integrate the herein findings and recommend best practices
for private sector participation in TD systems and open
access to TD grids in a comprehensive ESMAP report. The
Philippine electricity industry has been undergoing
restructuring directed and implemented in accordance with
the Electric Power Industry Reform Act or EPIRA. Prior to
the EPIRA, central management and control of both generation
and transmission in the whole country was under the
state‐owned National Power Corporation (NPC). Its
electricity supply came from its own power plants and from
Independent Power Producers (IPPs). It had sole ownership of
the transmission grid and was also responsible for central
systems planning and systems operations. Electricity was
supplied to end‐users by franchised distribution utilities
(DUs) which contracted with NPC and/or IPPs for electricity
supply and with NPC for transmission of its power supply.
There were also end-users not being supplied electricity by
the DUs as they were ‘directly connected’ to the
transmission grid by sub‐transmission assets. |
