Role of SPUG Pursuant to R.A. 9136 or the
Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA)

• Provide power generation and power delivery
  systems in missionary areas that are not
  connected to the national transmission grids and
  those that cannot be serviced by distribution
  utilities (DUs)
• Formulate the Missionary Electrification
  Development Plan (MEDP) together with Department
  of Energy (DOE) and National Electrification
  Administration (NEA)
• Submit annual petition for the Missionary
  Electrification portion of the Universal Charge

Village Power Process Flow (1)

• Identify/Select Village for electrification
• Collect Preliminary Data
• Secure spot maps, municipal maps
• Population economic data
• Conduct Actual Inspection
• Survey of the community layout
• Initiate dialogue with beneficiaries
• Secure community endorsement
• Design Cost Estimate
• Determine viable power system
• Design size of power equipment, structures, and
  distribution line network
• Secure latest market price of equipment and
  materials

Typical Project Cost
Note This system is composed of five (5)
solar-powered battery charging stations and
household electrical system for maximum
of 50 households per village in upland areas.
Note This system is composed of small diesel
power plant, distribution line system and
household electrical system for at
least 200 households per village in island or
coastal areas.

Opportunities for Private Micro
Utility

• Undertake village electrification as micro
  utility (Qualified Third Party)
• O M operator of villages to be energized by
  SPUG
• Selection thru public bidding
