Feed-In Tariff for Electricity Generated from Biomass, Ocean, Run-of-River Hydropower, Solar and Wind Energy Resources

On 27^th July 2012 Energy Regulatory Commission adopted with modification feed-in tariff levels for renewable energy electricity proposed by the National Renewable Energy Board in May 2011.

Energy Regulatory Commission Decision Case No. 2011-006 RM outlines that electricity generated by the renewable energy sources has:

• a priority for grid connection;
• a priority purchase; and
• benefit from fixed tariff to be paid over a fixed period of time (no less than 12 years).

 

Feed-in tariff are as follow:

Renewable source	Period of time	Feed-in tariff rate in PhP/kWh	Degression rate	Installation targets in MW
Wind	20 years	8.53	0.5% after 2 years from affectivity of FIT	200
Biomass		6.63	0.5% after 2 years from affectivity of FIT	250
Solar		9.68	0.6% after 1 year from affectivity of FIT	50
Run-of-river hydropower		5.90	0.5% after 2 years from affectivity of FIT	250

Above feed-in tariff rates will be valid for new applications for a period of three years unless, installation capacity targets will be achieved before that time. Afterwards, FIT rates will be adjusted.
