MANILA, Philippines — A power supplier at the Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG) domain of the National Power Corporation has secured its certificate of compliance (CoC) from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), enabling it to continually operate its modular power facility in Marinduque island.
A magnitude-3.2 quake jolted Southern Luzon before dawn Friday, and was felt in some parts of Laguna and Quezon provinces.
 
The CoC granted to Cummins Sales and Services Philippines Inc. (CSSPI) is for its modular seven-unit diesel power plant deployed in Boac, Marinduque. The aggregate capacity of the power generation units had been placed at 5.8 megawatts.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the quake was recorded at 1:26 a.m. and was tectonic in origin.
 
The power company has a power supply contract with NPC-SPUG for the output of its modular gensets.
In its bulletin, the quake's epicenter was traced to 8 km southwest of Sta. Cruz, Laguna.
 
ERC chairperson Zenaida G. Cruz-Ducut noted that Marinduque consumers should be appreciative of the fact that they are being “served by a power generation company that is compliant to the financial, technical and environmental standards set by the ERC.”
The quake was felt at Intensity II in Sta. Cruz, Laguna; Lucban, Quezon; and Nagcarlan, Laguna.
 
The regulatory body emphasized that it has been strictly monitoring the compliance of all power providers based on policies set forth for the restructured power industry.
Meanwhile, Phivolcs said a magnitude-3.1 quake rocked the Marinduque area in Southern Luzon at 4:43 a.m.
 
Apart from the ERC-enforced criteria, it has been emphasized that CSSPI has also been compliant with the Philippine Grid Code, Distribution Code as well as the rules governing the operations of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market.
It said the epicenter was estimated at 50 km southeast of Boac, Marinduque .
 
Power plants are required to have their CoCs before they can be set on commercial operations. The effectivity of the compliance certificate will be for five years and operators are mandated to renew it six months prior to expiry date.
No aftershock or damage was expected from the predawn quakes, Phivolcs said. — RSJ, GMA News
 
“A CoC helps to ensure that power plant operators will deliver electricity in a clean, safe, dependable and sustainable manner,” the ERC has noted.
 
It is in the same vein that this can also help “guard electricity consumers against abuse of market power;” which may be determined on the market share limitations prescribed under the Electric Power Industry Reform Act.
 
However, for off-grid areas or those served by NPC-SPUG, the market share limitations are not applicable as the law only mandates it for power generators serving on-grid end-users.
