The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) will dismiss applications for power supply agreements (PSA) between power generation companies and distribution utilities that fail to submit the required environmental compliance certificates (ECC) despite the agency’s order.
This is the warning issued by Agnes T. Devanadera, ERC chairperson and chief executive officer, to the PSA applicants, which included some of those applied for by distribution utility Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) and the power plant developers with which it had signed the contracts.
“We have issued an order for the cases without the ECC for them to comply within 60 days and the 60th day will be in June,” she told reporters.
“[Ka]pag wala pa silang ECC, sa tagal na ng kanilang pagka-file noon — dismissed,” she added.
(If they still don’t have an ECC despite the length of time after the filing — [their PSA applications will be] dismissed). — Victor V. Saulon
