The Energy Regulatory Commission on Wednesday said it will fast-track its review of all pending petitions of the National Power Corp. for its availment from the Universal Charge for Missionary Electrification and all other similar applications involving the UCME.
“The Commission is already in the process of evaluating all pending petitions of the NPC…. Rest assured that, the Commission shall expedite the review of NPC’s relevant petitions following due process and proceedings, in addition to looking for alternative solutions to solve the present crisis in missionary areas, while ensuring that reasonable prices and quality service will be provided,” the ERC said.
“As the regulatory body tasked with the duty of protecting and promoting consumer interest, the Commission is faced with the challenge of balancing the interests of our consumers and end-users in missionary areas on one hand, and on-grid end-users who shoulder the burden of subsidizing the UCME, on the other,” the ERC said.
“At present, NPC’s current fuel supply continues to dwindle after its fuel supplier has again halted delivery. Much as it wanted to maintain current service hours, NPC is left with no option but to reduce the operating hours of its power plants to stretch the current fuel supply until the 31st of December,” NPC had said.
