Republic Act No. 9513 (RE Law)

The recent passage of the Philippine Renewable Energy (RE) Law and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) now clearly defines the legal and regulatory framework for renewable energy investment in the Philippines.  After almost a long 10 year wait, this important piece of legislation has passed deliberations in both chambers of the Philippine Congress and Senate and was signed into law by President Gloria

Summary of Impact of new RE Law

  • In summary, the impact of applying all the incentives on first year tariff (also levelized selling price or my proposed feed-in tariff that provides the required 15% p.a. equity IRR given the capital cost and O&M costs) are as follows:
  • 1) Mini-hydro (150 mw diversion canal, $500M capital cost, $3,218/kW) = 6.9185 to 4.5630 P/kWh or 34.05% reduction in levelized selling price
  • 2) Biomass (22 mw landfill gas, $33M capital cost, $1,500/kW) = 6.8628 to 5.9494 P/kWh or 13.31% reduction in levelized selling price
  • 3) Solar PV (150 kW, $0.635M capital cost, $4,246/kW) = 15.7905 to 11.5011 P/kWh or 27.16% reduction in levelized selling price
  • 4) Wind Farm (33 MW, $54M capital cost, $1,636/kW) = 12.3156 to 9.7360 P/kWh or 20.95% reduction in levelized selling price
  • The above are based on equity structure of 30% equity and 70% debt for solar, wind and biomass and 25% equity and 75% debt for mini-hydro.
  • Minimum equity returns for equity investor is 15% p.a. while debt interest is 8.5% p.a.
  • All the above RE technologies don’t have subsidy or grants (note the NorthWind has a Danish Grant or subsidy capital).

Basic Policy Concepts of RE Law

1) Setting up of Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) which generators, distribution utilities and suppliers of electricity shall source or produce a specific portion of their electricity from eligible RE resources as determined by the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB).

2) Adoption of feed-in tariff scheme which provides an obligation to the power industry to source RE generation at a guaranteed fixed price over a period of time, which should not be less than a period of 12 years, to be determined by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).

3) Establishment of Green Energy Option program, a mechanism to be established by the Department of Energy (DOE), which shall provide end-users the option to choose RE resources as their source of energy.

4) Adoption of Net-Metering program to encourage end-users to participate in renewable energy generation without discrimination from distribution utilities.

5) Transmission and distribution utilities shall provide the needed connection facilities and ancillary services and provide the mechanism for the recovery of such additional costs to provide such service to RE generators.

6) DOE shall encourage the adoption of waste-to-energy systems and biogas systems to convert biodegradable waste materials such as animal manure and agricultural wastes using processes such as anaerobic digestion, fermentation and gasification to produce energy fuels or electricity, subject to the provision of the Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 (RA 8749) and Philippine Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (RA 9003).

7) The DOE shall establish the Renewable Energy Market (REM) as a sub-market of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) for the trading of RE Certificates in order to promote the Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS).

8) Under the supervision of the DOE, the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC) shall issue, keep and verify the RE Certificates from eligible RE facilities.

9) To promote off-grid renewable energy development, the NPC-SPUG, distribution utilities (DUs) and qualified third parties (QTPs) involved in providing rural electricity service shall source a minimum percentage of their annual generation from RE resources in their area is eligible for the issuance of RE Certificates.

10) Establishment of a Renewable Energy Trust Fund (RETF) under the lead supervision of the DOE.  This fund shall be funded from the emission fees collected from all generating facilities consistent with the Clean Air Act, 1.5% of the net income of the PCSO, 1.5% of the net income of PAGCOR and all contributions, grants and donations which shall be income tax deductible.

11) Establishment of the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) which shall monitor the implementation of this RE law and recommend policies to the DOE.

12) Creation of the Renewable Energy Management Bureau (REMB) under the DOE which shall develop, formulate and implement policies, plans and programs such as the National Renewable Energy Plan (NREP).

DOE Circular No. DC2009-05-0008

1) This DOE Department Circular shall be known as the “Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 9513”, otherwise knows as the “Renewable Energy Act of 2008.

2) Scope of the IRR includes the exploration, development, utilization and commercialization of RE resources such as biomass, solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal and ocean energy including hybrid systems and other emerging RE technologies in the Philippines.

3) The IRR covers the following activities: generation, transmission, distribution, sale and use of electricity, and fuel generated from use of RE resources.

4)  Provides the framework, responsibilities, functions of various government agencies and their relationship with the NREB.

5)  Provide direction and support to RE developers, manufacturers, fabricators and suppliers of locally produced RE equipment

6)  Provide fiscal and non-fiscal incentives for RE development.

Incentives

1) income tax holiday for 7 years, maximum of 21 years including new RE investments

2) corporate income tax of 10% of net taxable income (versus 30-35%)

3) 10-year exemption from customs tariff duties on imported capital equipment

4) net operating loss carry over (NOLCO)

5) accelerated depreciation (either declining balance method or sum-of-the-years digit method)

6) zero percent (0%) value added tax (VAT) rate

7) cash incentive for renewable energy developers such as qualified third parties (QTPs) in missionary electrification equivalent to 50% of the universal charge on the power needed to service remote area

8) special realty tax (1.5% of net book value = original cost less accumulated depreciation)

9) tax exemption on custom credits

10) tax credit on domestically sourced capital equipment

11) 10-year duty free importation on capital equipment

17) tax rebates for purchase of RE components for residential, industrial and community use

18) financial assistance program from government financial institutions (GFIs) such as Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) and Philippine Exim Bank which shall provide preferential loan package for the development, utilization and commercialization of RE projects that are duly

19) exemption from the payment of the universal charge being collected by PSALM for the recovery of stranded costs of NPC if the electricity generated is consumed by the generator itself or if it is distributed free of charge in the off-grid area

20) a registered RE developer producing power and electricity from an intermittent RE resource (e.g. wind, solar) may opt to pay transmission and wheeling charge to TRANSCO at the average rate per kilowatthour rate for all other electricity transmitted thru the grid

21) qualified and registered RE generating units with intermittent RE resources shall be considered “must dispatch” based on available energy and shall enjoy the benefit of priority dispatch

Other Provisions of RE Law

  • Under this new RE Law, a Renewable Energy Service / Operating Contract similar to that given to oil, gas, geothermal and coal operating contracts shall be required before such RE resource could be exploited by individuals and companies since the state owns all forces of potential energy and natural resources such as kinetic energy from water, marine current and wind, thermal energy from solar, ocean, geothermal heat and biomass.
  • As such, any joint venture or co-production sharing agreements with Filipino citizens or corporations or associations at least 60% of the capital is owned by Filipinos subject to Article XII, Section 2 of the Philippine Constitution.
  • The government share on existing and new RE development projects, except geothermal energy, shall be 1% of the gross income incidental to and arising from the generation, transmission and sale of electric power.  Gross income shall comprise of gross sales less returns, discounts and allowances, and cost of goods sold.
  • Except for government-owned and controlled corporations, the government shall be distributed as 60% national government and 40% local government.
  • In the case of geothermal energy, however, the government share shall be 1.5% of gross income from the sale of geothermal electricity less cost of goods sold which shall consist of the direct cost of geothermal steam production.
  • The local government share shall further be distributed as follows: province – 20%, city/municipality – 45%, barangay – 35%.
  • When the natural resource is located in more than 2 provinces, cities or barangays, the sharing shall be based on the following weights: population – 70%, land area – 30%.
  • In the case of highly urbanized cities, the sharing shall be as follows: city – 65%, barangay – 35%.
  • All provisions under the WESM rules and Distribution and Grid codes which do not allow “must dispatch” status for intermittent RE resources shall be deemed amended or modified.
  • For the purposes of entitlement to the incentives and privileges under this law and IRR, the existing and new RE developers, manufacturers, fabricators and suppliers of locally-produced RE equipment shall register with the REMB and will be issued a Certificate of Endorsement.
  • The DOE shall issue a Certificate of Registration to RE Developer holding a valid RE Service / Operating Contract.
  • The DOE shall likewise issue a Certificate of Accreditation to RE manufacturers, fabricators and suppliers of locally-produced RE equipment in coordination with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
  • The RE sector is hereby declared a priority investment sector that will regularly form part of the Investment Priority Plan (IPP) provided they register with the Board of Investments (BOI).

DOE Circular No. DC2009-07-0011

  • This circular provides “Guidelines governing a transparent and competitive system of awarding RE service/operating contracts and providing for the registration process of RE developers
  • An RE Service/Operating Contract is a service agreement between the Government and RE Developer to have exclusive right to explore, develop or utilize a particular RE area. The two stages of RE Contract are:
  • Pre-Development Stage for preliminary assessment and feasibility study up to financial closing of RE project
  • Development/Commercial Stage for the development, production or utilization of RE resources, including construction and installation of relevant facilities up to the operation phase.

Conversion of RE Contracts

  • Conversion from Pre-Development Stage to Development/Commercial Stage – the RE Developer shall secure permits, clearances or certificates such as Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC), Certificate of Non-Coverage (CNC), Water Rights Permit, Free and Prior Informed Consent (FPIC), Certificate of Non-Overlap, Local Government Unit (LGU) endorsement, etc.
  • Conversion from Existing Service Contract/Agreement to RE Contracts under this Circular – holders of existing contract are deemed to be provisionally registered as RE Developer under the Act.  The DOE shall issue a provisional certificate upon submission of Letter of Intent (LOI) for conversion of RE Contract.

Application Requirements

  • For RE Contracts during Pre-Development and Development/Commercial Stages, all RE resources and hybrid systems – the RE applicant must be a Filipino or if a corporation, must be at least 60% owned by Filipinos and duly registered with SEC.
  • For geothermal resources, the applicant must be a Filipino.
  • Legal Requirements
  • Technical Requirements
  • Financial Requirements
  • Application and Processing Fees

Awarding of RE Contracts

RE Contracts shall be awarded thru:

  • Open and Competitive Process – all areas for open and competitive selection shall be posted by the DOE in its website
  • Direct Negotiation – If there is only one applicant for an RE area, the RE applicant is given 30 days to complete its submission.  If two or more interested applicants over the same RE area, the REMB shall prioritize and endorse to the Review Committee for evaluation.

Feed-In Tariff System

Hydro Power : run-of-river

  • Impoundment – typical large hydropower system use an impoundment facility like a dam to store river water in a reservoir; water may be released either to meet changing electricity needs or to maintain a constant reservoir level or to meet irrigation needs.
  • Diversion – also called run-of-river, channels a portion of a river through a canal or penstock to run a turbine; may not require the use of a dam.
  • Pumped storage – when demand for electricity is low, say at night or weekend, a cheap source of electricity like nuclear power will pump water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir, where it is released back to the lower reservoir to generate electricity during periods of high or peak electrical demand

Impoundment Hydropower

Diversion Hydropower

Pumped Storage

Sizes of Hydropower Plants

  • Large hydropower – US DOE defines large hydropower as facilities having capacity of greater than 30 MW. With regular maintenance, it could generate power for over 50 years.
  • Small hydropower – capacity greater than 0.1 MW and up to 30 MW.
  • UNDP/WB: 100 kW- 1 MW is mini hydro, 1 MW to 5-30 MW is small hydro).
  • Micro hydropower – capacity of up to 100 kW.

Water Turbine Technologies

  • Pelton turbine – has one or more jets of water impinging on the buckets of a runner that looks like a water wheel; used for high-head sites (50 to 6,000 ft) and as large as 200 MW.
  • Francis turbine – has a runner with 9 or more fixed vanes;  water enters the turbine in a radial direction with respect to the shaft and discharge in an axial direction; will operate form 10 to 2,000 ft of head and generate up to 800 MW.
  • Propeller turbine – has a runner with 3-6 fixed blades like a boat propeller; water passes thru the runner and drives the blades; can operate from 10 to 300 ft of head and as large as 100 MW.
  • Kaplan turbine – type of propeller turbine in which the pitch of the blades can be changed to improve performance, and can generate up to 400 MW.

Cost of Hydropower

The EIA estimates the overnight capital cost of hydropower:

US $ / kW

Big hydro (> 50 MW)           1,000-3,000

Small hydro (< 20 MW)        800-1,200

Micro hydro (< 100 kW)            2,500*

* PCIERD (P1,000,000 for 8 kW at P50/$)

  • Generation cost:

US $ / kWh

Levelized cost of power            6.4 – 13.8 cents

Big hydro (> 50 MW)           0.044

Small hydro (< 20 MW)        0.03 – 0.05

Micro hydro (< 100 kW)                 n.a.

BIOMASS ENERGY

Bio-Power Technologies:

  • Direct combustion – burning of biomass in excess air, producing hot flue gases that are used to produce steam in a boiler, steam drives turbine generators to produce electricity
  • Co-firing – practice of introducing biomass in high-efficiency coal fired boilers as a supplementary energy source; been evaluated for pulverized coal, fluidized bed and spreader stokers
  • Renewable fuel cells – hydrogen may be obtained from biomass and fed to fuel cells to produce power, heat and water
  • Gasification – biomass gasification for power production involves heating biomass under oxygen-deficient conditions to produce a medium or low calorific gas. The “biogas” is then used as fuel in a combined cycle power plant with gas turbine and steam turbine cycles.

Renewable Fuel Cell Power from Biogas

Cost of Bio-Power:

  • Bio-power plants tend to be smaller than coal-fired power stations with boiler sizes around 50 MW, since it would be economic to transport the fuel over short distances only.

Cost of Waste-to-Power

  • Amount of wastes produced in developed countries was estimated by IEA to be 426 million MT/yr, a potential output of 191 TWh/year.
  • Landfill gas leaks out an equal mixture of CH4 and CO2. Global potential is 13,000 MWh in 1995.

Benefits from Biomass & Wastes

  • Biomass is a renewable fuel and is environmentally benign - carbon burnt did not come from fossil fuels but from atmospheric CO2 during photosynthesis; mitigates global warming.
  • Gasifier-fuel cell - results in net CO2 reduction because of the higher efficiency of fuel cell and being CO2-neutral; can be the carbon sink needed to avoid global warming
  • Solves waste disposal problem – burning of agricultural and municipal solid wastes reduces the garbage dumped into sanitary landfill
  • Perennial plants will stabilize land – reduce soil erosion when planted in barren lands dedicated to energy plantations
  • Mitigates acid rain - biomass does not contain sulfur unlike fossil fuels; does not emit SO2; minimize respiratory illness and corrosion in buildings.

Basic Principles and Components of a Modern Wind Turbine

Cost of Wind Power

  • Cost of wind power (EIA):

Resource type                                  Intermittent, predictable

Capacity factor                                 20 – 44 %

Real levelized cost (1998$)              4 – 6 cents / kWh

Construction lead time                      1 – 3 years

Overnight capital cost                    $857 / kW

Fixed O&M costs                 $0.256 / kW / year

Variable O&M, $/kWh                     nil

  • Availability factor of 90% and load factor of 30-40%, sometimes higher at 45% during favorable wind patterns;  because of this 1/3 average load factor, a wind farm would be 2.5 times as large as a conventional power plant of same rating and 80% load factor.
  • Cost of generating wind power in US (EPRI) – $0.05/kWh
  • Competitive tender bids in UK – as low as $0.032/kWh

I have to admit that the benefits associated with solar appear to be real and I am very happy we chose to move forward with it.
