State-owned National Power Corporation (Napocor) earlier sought Congress’ help for the augmentation of its 2023 budget to ensure that it can sustain the operations of its 278 Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG) plants nationwide.

In a letter addressed to the House Committee on Appropriations chaired by Rep. Elizaldy Co and vice-chaired by Rep. Stella Quimbo, Napocor emphasized the need for its supplemental budget to be included in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for 2023 or that additional funding sources to cover the augmentation be approved this year.

“Inclusion of our proposed special provisions in the GAA would allow our Board to augment our budget if possible sources of funds become available without going back to Congress,” said Napocor president and CEO Fernando Martin Roxas.

Napocor said that the augmentation was due to the volatility of fuel prices which are currently priced twice as much than the initially available funds. Fuel accounts for almost 70% of the corporation’s operational costs for both its SPUG plants and new power provider subsidies (NPPs).

Roxas said that other contingency measures being considered are credit lines from the Landbank of the Philippines, immediate approval of tariff applications before the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) and reimbursements for the advances it made in the maintenance of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) from 2011 to 2023 in the amount of 404 million.

As mandated by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001, Napocor powers up far-flung islands and communities not connected to the main grid. Along with NPPs/QTPs and with its 278 power plants and power barges and as operators of the transmission systems of six provinces, it provides electricity to around 1.3 million households in the countryside. ■

"Energy Secretary Raphael M. Lotilla on Thursday imparts words of encouragement and vision to the employees of the National Power Corporation as the state corporation celebrates its 86th founding anniversary.

Sec. Popo Lotilla emphasized NPC’s opportunities for growth considering that it was the pioneer in renewable sources of energy such as hydro and geothermal. He urged NPC not to limit itself to present-day affairs or present-day challenges, but to look beyond and see the opportunities for a strengthened power sector for the country.

“As we go down the road and consider new opportunities in modular nuclear or even the future of fusion as a source of power, these are the opportunities that we need to look into,” Sec. Popo said.

Meanwhile, NPC President and CEO Fernando Martin Roxas expressed his confidence that NPC can emerge from the present crisis (hike in fuel prices) as a much stronger organization. He has since expressed his goal of straying away from the status quo and achieving more with less in realising NPC’s electrification goals."
