Preliminary Feed-in Tariff (FiT) for Renewable Energy Sources in the Philippines – Biomass, Mini-Hydro, Wind and Solar

Preliminary Feed-in Tariff (FiT) for Renewable Energy Sources in the Philippines – Biomass, Mini-Hydro, Wind and Solar

Last January 20-21, 2010, the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) and in consultation with the Renewable Energy (RE) Alliance, conducted a three day seminar at the Subic International Hotel at the Subic Free Port, Province of Zambales, Philippines.

With the recent passage last year (2009) of the Philippine Renewable Energy Law (R.A. 9513) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (DC 2009-05-0008), a Feed-In Tariff mechanism has to be established in the country within a year (February 2010).  In particular, a 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 (15 years per ERC), to be determined by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
