Prequalification Requirement


  1. Existing NPC’s ODPS customers shall renew their accreditation requirements by signing a new Memorandum of Agreement with NPC but need not subject their generating sets for testing. New ODPS applicants have to submit a Letter of Intent and be subject to the normal accreditation process and generator testing.
  2. Existing ODPS customers under the Meralco franchise are required to submit their historical monthly (kW and kWh) and typical daily (24-hour) consumption of their native load and self-generation for the past 2 years. If necessary and no tests have been conducted yet, they will submit to NPC their self-generating unit to Capability Test and in order to establish their Maximum Bid Allowed (MBA).
  3. New customers classified in Section 1, Item (d) of this IRR, are required to submit their historical monthly consumption (kW and kWh) for the past 2 years. Accordingly, NPC shall then establish their Customer Baseline Load (CBL). The CBL in this case shall be the average kWh consumption and the kW demand of the customer for those years. Customers under this category can avail of the E-ODPS upon approval of the concerned Distribution Utility or unless an enabling order from the ERC allows otherwise.
  4. The Maximum Bid Allowed (MBA) is the maximum kW demand that a customer can get at E-ODPS rate subject to the limitation of the customer’s receiving facilities, distribution utility and NPC/Transco facilities (e.g., transformers, lines) and further defined as follows:

    Phase I : For those customers with self-generation. The MBA is equal to the dependable self-generation capacity
    Phase II: For those customers without self-generation or with self-generation but on standby. The MBA shall be equal to the highest kW demand recorded for the past 2 years less their established CBL’s kW demand.

  5. Customers must have least 1,000 kW of self-generation capacity or demand.
  6. The new time-of-use meters and the associated instrument transformers and electric cables of the meter installation shall be for the account of the customer; however NPC shall publish the type-approved specifications for the devices.
  7. Customers should provide their own workstation and modem and shall subscribe at their own account to the prescribed Service Provider.
  8. All recurring charges to be indicated in the respective Memorandum of Agreement for this E-ODPS for the use of the internet-based online bidding and settlement portal system shall be for the account of the customers and shall be paid to the Service Provider.
  9. Embedded customers or customers inside the distribution utility’s franchise area, whether partially or wholly self-generating their requirements, may be allowed to avail of this program through a service agreement with the Distributor which shall be part of the Memorandum of Agreement to be drawn.
  10. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Customers who will participate in the day-ahead market of the E-ODPS will not be required to post a security deposit since the billing and settlement will be done on a daily basis thru the settlement portal system. However, the customer needs to make his account at the payment gateway facility current and enough to cover each day of transaction. If the customer continues to draw down power even if his account is not sufficient for the transaction, the power taken will be charge at the prevailing market price. However, customers who will participate in the month- and year-ahead market are required to post a security deposit equivalent to its projected billing for their one month energy consumption and may be in the instruments described in Section 15 (a) to (d) of this IRR.
