ERC Grants Provisional Authority to PALECO-DMCI 15 MW PSA
The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has granted its provisional authority for the implementation of the 15 MW Power Supply Agreement (PSA) between the Palawan Electric Cooperative (PALECO) and DMCI Power Corporation (DPC) through its decision in ERC Case No. 2025-155 RC, promulgated on October 20, 2025.
The said PSA, which was signed last February 27, is a product of the Competitive Selection Process (CSP), alongside the 40 MW PSA awarded to Delta P, Inc. (DPI), conducted by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) in the latter half of last year. Both PSAs are intended to augment the power requirements of the Palawan Main Grid.
To ensure balanced power sourcing and enhanced system reliability, the power plants under this PSA will be strategically located in Roxas (7 MW) and Aborlan (8 MW).
In addition to granting the provisional authority, the ERC has directed the National Power Corporation (NPC) to execute a Universal Charge for Missionary Electrification (UCME) Subsidy Agreement, which will help guarantee lower generation costs for PALECO’s member-consumer-owners (MCOs) upon implementation.
Aside from the subsidy agreement, PALECO and DPC are in the process of completing the remaining documentary requirements to facilitate the full implementation of the PSA.
