LGUs receive P140M ER 1-94 funds from AboitizPower, DOE

AboitizPower and the Department of Energy recently turned over around P140.1 million worth of Energy Regulations 1-94 (ER 1-94) funds to some 36 host beneficiaries of AboitizPower business units AP Renewables, Inc. (APRI) and San Carlos Sun Power, Inc. (SacaSun).

LGUs receive P140M ER 1-94 funds from AboitizPower, DOE

The initial remittance is part of the total P351.6 million ER 1-94 funds generated by AboitizPower’s geothermal and solar facilities. The remaining funds are still being processed and will likewise be turned over to the host beneficiaries as soon as available.

ER 1-94 is a program that gives benefit to host communities through the one centavo per kilowatt-hour (P0.01/kWh) share in the total electricity sales of a power generating facility located within their locality. A new DOE Circular mandates that the funds can now be utilized for COVID-19 response efforts, in support of the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act.

The host beneficiaries of APRI and SacaSun include 24 barangays, three municipalities, and two cities in the provinces of Albay, Batangas, Laguna, and Negros Occidental.

Regions IV-A, V, and VI, through the Regional Development Council, will also be given shares that they can allocate to their chosen non-host local government units of APRI and SacaSun within their respective regions.

“We don’t know how long this crisis will last. I see the accrued ER 1-94 fund as a blessing. This is God’s provision that our host communities can tap and utilize at this very difficult moment in our nation’s history. May they be able to use this resource to help contain, mitigate, and eventually eliminate the spread of COVID-19 in their respective areas,” said AboitizPower Geothermal and Solar Business Units President and Chief Operating Officer Dennis Jordan.

COVID-19 response initiatives that were so far implemented by the said LGUs include holding areas or distribution centers, medical and PPE supplies, facility decontamination, and relief goods to feed low-income households during this prolonged quarantine period.

The said funding can also be utilized for mass testing, subsidy programs (non-food items), mobile market to ensure uninterrupted availability of essential goods, construction of quarantine centers, provision of cremation and burial services, electricity cost subsidies to newly constructed health facilities, and all other reasonable means or measure to mitigate, contain, and eliminate the transmission of COVID-19.
