In a statement, Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) chairperson Monalisa Dimalanta said the power industry regulator was informed by Meralco that the company “received from SMC Excellent Energy [Resources] and Masinloc Power Partners the Notices of Termination of the Power Supply Agreements (PSAs) for 1,200MW and 600MW, respectively.”

San Miguel Corporation's power unit SMC Global Power Holdings Inc. has terminated its 1,800-megawatt power supply deals with the Manila Electric Company for 2024 and 2025.

In a statement, Energy Regulatory Commission chairperson Monalisa Dimalanta said the power industry regulator was informed by Meralco that the company “received from SMC Excellent Energy [Resources] and Masinloc Power Partners the Notices of Termination of the Power Supply Agreements for 1,200MW and 600MW, respectively.”

“According to Meralco, they will jointly file with Excellent Energy and Masinloc Power Partners the appropriate pleadings with ERC by Monday for the withdrawal of the PSAs,” Dimalanta said. In 2021, Excellent Energy and Masinloc Power both bagged 20-year contracts for the supply of 1,200MW and 600MW, which would take effect by 2024 and 2025, respectively.“We confirm receipt of notices from San Miguel Global Power and are currently studying our available options, including the possibility of requesting DOE to conduct another round of CSP for the 1,800-MW requirement of Meralco,” the power distributor said in a separate statement.

“[The] ERC will then review and act on such motions, when filed, after determination of compliance with law and legal processes. We note that no supply is currently being served yet to Meralco from these PSAs,” she said.—LDF, GMA Integrated News
