The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has issued guidelines for the collection and disbursement of the Green Energy Auction Allowance (GEA-All) Fund, according to Resolution No. 6, Series of 2025.
The resolution also includes a prescribed template for the Renewable Energy Payment Agreement (REPA), which applies to the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Green Energy Auction Program (GEAP).
The ERC finalized the guidelines after stakeholder consultations in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, aiming to ensure fair and accurate fee collection from on-grid consumers by GEA suppliers. The GEA-All will be applied as a uniform charge, shown as a separate line item on consumer bills.
The commission cited the need for separate guidelines for the GEA-All Fund and the Feed-In-Tariff Allowance (FIT-All) Fund, to maintain transparency and prevent commingling. While both support renewable energy (RE) development, the FIT-All compensates RE supply under the FIT program, and the GEA-All funds payments to RE developers under the GEAP.
The GEA-All Fund will pay Actual GET Revenue to RE developers under the REPA, the standard contract between TransCo, the fund administrator and RE developers. The resolution also prescribes a REPA template, ensuring developers receive payments for their actual RE generation under the GEAP framework.
As the country’s energy regulator, the ERC determines the Green Energy Auction Reserve (GEAR) price, the ceiling in each auction round, and sets the calculation methodology. The commission will monitor the GEA-All Fund’s administration and conduct periodic audits to ensure payment timeline compliance.
