Executive Summary

In the planning period 2009-2018, the Distribution Utilities (DUs) expect an increase in peak demand of 4,006 MW from 8,529 MW in 2009 to 12,535 MW in 2018, representing an average growth of 3.9% annually. Luzon is projected to have a 3.7% annual average growth rate in peak demand, from 6,357 MW in 2009 to 9,051 MW in 2018. Visayas and Mindanao will have a higher growth rate at 4.8% and 4.6%, respectively from 1,167 MW in 2009 to 1,735 MW in 2018 for Visayas, and from 1,214 MW in 2009 to 1,750 MW in 2018 for Mindanao. 

In terms of energy requirement, DUs in Luzon is projected to grow at an annual average growth rate of 4.0% over the ten-year planning period, from 37,884 GWh in 2009 to 55,588 GWh in 2018. Visayas DUs is seen to register an annual average growth rate of 4.5%, from 6,020 GWh in 2009 to 8,886 GWh in 2018, Mindanao DUs will register a 4.6% annual average growth rate, from 6,726 GWh in 2009 to 9,762 GWh in 2018.

DUs are projecting a substantial increase in the number of customers in 2018: Luzon at 11.366 million; Visayas at 3.622 million; and Mindanao at 3.133 million. These translate to an annual average growth rates of 4.1% in Luzon, 4.5% in Visayas, and 5.0% in Mindanao in energy sales, respectively.

To meet the projected increase in energy requirements over the planning horizon, an estimated 24,424 ckt-km of lines are programmed for rehabilitation and/or upgrading, 14,842 ckt-km of lines are for construction, and an additional 5,735 MVA substation capacity will be constructed. These will have corresponding investment requirements amounting to PhP70.9 billion, broken down into: PhP21.2 billion for electrification projects, PhP20.6 billion for construction of new lines, PhP8.0 billion for additional substation capacity, and Php21.1 billion for rehabilitation of distribution lines.

Executive Summary

In compliance with Section 1(c) of Rule 13 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (EPIRA or Republic Act No. 9136), the Department of Energy (DOE), in coordination with the Small Power Utilities Group of the National Power Corporation (NPC-SPUG), the National Electrification Administration (NEA), new private/power providers (NPPs), independent power producers (IPPs), distribution utilities (DUs) and qualified third parties (QTPs), has prepared the Missionary Electrification Development Plan for 2009-2013 (2009 MEDP).

The 2009 MEDP sets out the government’s plan that will implement policies and programs to sustain the provision of adequate, reliable, and efficient supply of electricity in missionary or off-grid areas and to enable communities in those areas receive the benefit of electrification. The 2009 MEDP covers two major components, namely: missionary generation and remote area electrification.
