The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) said Thursday it has started the emergency procurement for the 180 megawatts (MW) of baseload supply needed for the dry season.
In a statement, Meralco said it secured an approval from the Department of Energy (DOE) to conduct a Competitive Selection Process (CSP) for its power supply requirement.
“Through its Third Party Bids and Awards Committee (TBPAC), Meralco is inviting all interested parties to submit their offers for the contract. It will be effective upon the issuance of notice of award and approval of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) until July 25, 2022,” it said.
Interested bidders have until March 31 to submit their Expressions of Interest.
A pre-bid conference will be held on April 7, while the bid submission deadline is May 4, according to the power distributor.
“Forming part of the 350-MW power requirement that Meralco needs to augment available supply during the summer months, this 180-MW supply is meant to cover for the output of plants that are affected by Malampaya facility’s continued inability to supply adequate natural gas fuel,” Meralco said.
In February, Meralco entered into a power supply agreement (PSA) with South Premiere Power Corporation (SPPC) following the CSP for the initial 170-MW of peaking power requirement.
The PSA is now with the Energy Regulatory Commission for approval, it said.
