- P 79,076,807.86
3. Collection Efficiency is below
standard

4. Slow ERC approval on application

for :
a. Recovery of Business Taxes
b. CAPEX and Authority to
Secure Loan

SOLUTION
Apply for Loan Restructuring

Minimize Non-Power Expenses and

Reduce
System Loss

Inspection of dormant disconnected
consumers
Constant follow-up

PROBLEM
6. Insufficiency of DSM Rate

7. On-going CBA negotiation for salary

increase and other benefits of employees

Installation of 10 MVA
Substation at Pagsanjan Area to
relieve the loading of the existing
substation and address the
increasing demand of the feeder
connected and resolve the power
quality violation of undervoltage
and unbalanced loading of the
feeder.

n

De-energized

Re-Energization of Pakil
Substation upon approval of
CAPEX on Safety Project . Upon
energization of Pakil S/S,
Feeders 5 & 6 will be
transferred from Lumban S/S 2
to Pakil S/S where they are
originally connected. This will
likewise relieve the critical
loading of Lumban S/S 2 .

Pole Cluster Metering of

5,000 kWh meters per year and
13.71% (with SLA)
13.45% (without SLA) replacement of old and
defective kWh meters. In
addition, the project also
involves the rehabilitation of
the secondary lines which will
surely contribute to the
