“Article IV
BILLING AND COMPENSATION
Section 1. De-loading Compensation. The Distribution Utility shall pay the
Participating Customer a compensation an amount representing the incremental
cost incurred due to the full or partial de-loading, when it de-loads from the
Distribution Utility as requested.The De-loading Compensation shall be computed by multiplying the “deloaded
kWh” less registered kWh in the meter, if any, during periods when the
Distribution Utility requests a Participating Customer to de-load, multiplied by the
incremental de-loading cost per kWh, to wit:
Where:
diesel fuel from Petron, Shell and Caltex as of the end of the previous
calendar month in the City or Municipality where the Participating
Customer is located
Fuel Consumption Rate = 0.34 liter/kWh
PC Average Rate = The Participating Customer’s Average Rate for the current billing period
Compensable kWh = Actual de-loaded kWh for the current billing period
Maintenance Cost = PhP0.32/kWh x Compensable kWh or PhP23,548.00/month, whichever is lower
For purposes of determining the Participating Customer’s actual
generation cost of fuel, the Distribution Utility shall file a verified report
thereon upon filing of its Automatic Generation Rate Adjustment (AGRA)
report requirements.
The “de-loaded kWh” will depend on the Participating Customer’s actual realtime
reading by the Distribution Utility or its agreed 24-hour load profile based on
its latest average load profile for previous month, if the DU has not installed realtime
metering for Participating Customer.”
This Resolution shall take effect after fifteen (15) days following the
completion of its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the
Philippines.
Let copies of this Resolution be furnished the University of the Philippines
Law Center-Office of the National Administrative Register (UPLC-ONAR) and all
