IEMOP TO IMPLEMENT ERC ORDER ON MARKET SUSPENSION AMIDST RED ALERTS

IEMOP shares the industry’s concern on recently recorded all-time high energy demand across all regions, exacerbated by the current heat wave. This present demand situation has put a strain on available generation capacities leading to the issuances of Yellow and Red Alerts by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). Pursuant to its mandate to operate the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) in accordance with policy and regulatory issuances promulgated by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), IEMOP, in coordination with the NGCP, will implement the recently issued ERC Order dated 30 April 2024 for ERC Case No.2024-017MC, entitled In the Matter of Declaration of Market Suspension During Red Alerts During Summer Months of 2024. IEMOP remains hopeful that the supply levels will improve so the grid may continuously operate under normal conditions. Under the WESM Rules, the ERC may suspend normal operations of the WESM in cases of (a) natural calamities or (b) following the official declaration of a national or international security emergency by the President of the Republic. During the market suspension, the administered pricing based on the ERC approved Price Determination Methodology (PDM) shall be imposed. In this pricing mechanism, the weighted average of the last four (4) similar trading days and dispatch intervals prices shall be considered.

IEMOP COMMENCES THE FULL COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS OF RESERVE MARKET

https://www.iemop.ph/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/RM-Full-Commercial-Operationswebsite.mp4 Following the green light given by Department of Energy (DOE) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) through the issuance of DOE Advisory 2024-01-001-SEC and the ERC’s interim approval of the Price Determination Methodology for the Co-optimized Energy and Reserve Market (Order, ERC Case No. 2023-002 RC), IEMOP announces the commencement of the Full Commercial Operations of the Reserve Market at dispatch interval 0005H on 26 January 2024. The Full Commercial Operations shall allow the participation of ALL certified A/S Providers in the scheduling and dispatch process in the WESM for the provision of regulation, contingency, or dispatchable ancillary services. Additionally, the reserve schedules and prices determined through the WESM shall be binding for scheduling and dispatch, while resulting spot transactions shall be settled through the market. The key benefits of the Reserve Market include: Co-optimization: This refers to the simultaneous optimization of capacities in providing multiple electricity services to get the best energy mix at the most affordable price while maximizing resource use. Dynamic Reserve Requirement: This refers to a flexible approach to determining the amount of reserve capacity required at any given time, based on real-time conditions, rather than a fixed or static amount. By not keeping a higher-than-necessary fixed reserve, costs can be efficiently determined, which may benefit end-users in terms of electricity prices. This would also allow the grid to adapt to changes quickly. By adjusting reserves based on real-time conditions, there is a reduced risk of blackouts or other power disruptions. Single Buyer Model: Central procurement by the System Operator simplifies operations and streamlines coordination. Having a single buyer also optimizes the procurement of reserves, ensuring the most effective mix of reserve products based on the system’s needs. It also ensures more consistent procurement practices. Settlement Net of Contracted Reserves: When settling accounts, the pre-agreed contracted reserves are considered and settled at a contracted price. Any difference between the scheduled and contracted reserve is settled at the reserve market price. This ensures that electricity market participants have a clear and efficient method of reconciling and settling their financial obligations related to reserve capacities. The Full Commercial Operations of the Reserve Market heralds a new era of competitive power supply procurement with the end goal of ensuring sufficient and reliable power supply for our country.

MVIP IMPROVES SUPPLY SECURITY AMIDST SYSTEM DEMAND SURGES IN MARCH

In its latest monthly briefing, the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) reported the latest market data as of 24 March 2024 which indicated a stable supply averaging around 18,900 megawatts (MW). However, the period saw a notable surge in average demand, escalating from 12,372 MW in February to 13,185 MW in March. This increase was observed across regions, with Luzon exhibiting a 6.1% increase, followed by Visayas at 6.4%, and Mindanao at 8.4%. The higher demand levels eventually resulted in a lower supply margin, dropping by 19% from 4,757 MW last February to 3,860 MW as of March 24. This drop occurred despite an average supply increase of 138 MW. IEMOP likewise reported planned and forced outages from several power plants during the first week of March. The combined planned outages, mainly from large conventional generators such as coal, natural gas, geothermal, and hydroelectric plants totaled 2,724 MW. Additionally, there were capacities that went on forced outages amounting to a total of 1,062 MW largely from coal and natural gas plants during the same period. Consequently, the average price of electricity experienced a marked increase, climbing from 4.03 PhP/kWh to 5.46 PhP/kWh as of preliminary data in March 2024. Regionally, the average spot price surged in Luzon from 3.97 PhP/kWh in February 2024 to 5.26 PhP/kWh in March 2024, whereas Visayas and Mindanao witnessed price hikes of 4.58 PhP/kWh to 6.26 PhP/kWh and 3.71 PhP/kWh to 4.20 PhP/kWh, respectively. Withal, the Mindanao-Visayas Interconnection Project (MVIP) has significantly improved supply security in the Visayas and Luzon grids by allowing excess power of up to 450 MW to be exported from the Mindanao grid. On average, The MVIP allowed an average of 341 MW to be exported to Visayas, whereas the Leyte-Luzon HVDC link connecting Visayas to Luzon provided an average of additional 296 MW to support meeting the demand in the Luzon grid.

LOWER WESM PRICES FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER

In a recent IEMOP briefing on the Philippine Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM), the market has experienced a reduction in electricity demand coupled with improvements in supply levels translating to lower electricity prices in the spot market. Key highlights from the market operations as of December 10 reveal insights into pricing, generation sources, and upcoming initiatives. Despite an 84MW increase in demand from the previous billing month, the WESM average price as of December 10 decreased by 0.22 PhP/kWh. The Luzon region saw a decrease of 0.11 PhP/kWh, Visayas by 0.52 PhP/kWh, and Mindanao by 0.5 PhP/kWh. Lower clearing prices during this period can be attributed to the combination of lower offer prices from generator participants, potentially influenced by the decline in global fuel prices. Additionally, supply improved as generating plants completed their annual maintenance program together with notable higher supply availability from wind power plants which is mainly prompted by the Amihan season, contributed significantly to this scenario. In the November billing month, wind output witnessed a substantial increase of 102 GWh, marking a 1.4 times surge compared to the previous month. The system supply in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao continues to be dominated by coal and natural gas, accounting for 76% of the total generation. Geothermal and hydro contributed 8.9% and 8.3%, while solar and biomass plants witnessed considerable increases in their energy shares, reaching 221 GWh and 95 GWh, respectively.. Improved supply levels also reduced the dispatch of diesel plants and this contributed also to the lowering of market prices especially during peak demand periods. Customers purchased 18.2% of the total metered consumption of 8,949 GWh in November 2023 from the spot market at an ESSP rate of 4.39 PhP/kWh. Up from the 16.9% last October billing month. The ESSP also represents a decline from the October rate of 6.94 PhP/kWh. Presently, the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) is gearing up for the commercial operations launch of the Reserve Market this December 26, 2023.
