State-run National Power Corporation has awarded P4.2 billion worth of supply contracts to four petroleum companies which shall deliver the fuel requirements of its Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG) for this year. | |||
The biggest of the contracts went to Petron Corporation for P2.44 billion. Its fuel deliveries will be for NPC-SPUG assets in Calayan islands; as well as North Luzon, Quezon and Mindoro/Romblon jurisdictions. | |||
Oil major Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation cornered the other hefty contract of P1.16 billion; and its supply area coverage will be Basco in Batanes, Marinduque, and also the Mindoro and Romblon areas. | |||
Independent player Phoenix Petroleum Philippines Inc. cornered a supply deal of P550.57 million for the fuel needs of Power Barge 113; while Filpride Resources Inc. of the Villavicencio group got a P92.93-million share in the supply pie. | |||
Tender documents would show that the approved budget cost for the fuel requirements awarded was at P6.273 billion, higher than the total cost cornered for the supply deals. | |||
The volume auctioned by the power firm hovered at 138,502 kiloliters; comprising of 116,301 kiloliters of diesel and 22,201 kiloliters of fuel oil. | |||
The other delivery points assigned to Phoenix Petroleum will be the NPC-SPUG facilities in Western Mindanao and Eastern Mindanao. | |||
The SPUG areas to be supplied by Filpride Resources, on the other, will be part of northern Luzon as well as the Palanan and Casiguran (Aurora) cluster. | |||
NPC noted the volume of contracts awarded will already cover the fuel needs of its off-grid facility operations for the whole duration of 2012. | |||
Since the privatization of its assets, NPC’s residual mandate would be to reinforce the provision of electricity in off-grid and far-flung areas. | |||
With the financial strain it suffered last year that hamstrung its fuel procurement strategies, the company is making sure that it will not be saddled with the same dilemma this year so the SPUG areas will not be threatened again with power interruptions. | |||
