NPC PCEO turns over 2MWp grid-tied solar farms to South Cotabato II and Sultan Kudarat Electric Cooperatives

GENSAN CITY - National Power Corporation President and CEO Fernando Martin Roxas on Thursday morning turns over the European Union-funded renewable energy projects to two (2) of the four (4) electric cooperative (EC) beneficiaries of the 1MWp grid-tied solar farms (each).

In his brief message, President Nani Roxas gave credit for the success of the projects to the people who worked hard for its completion despite the pandemic - teams from NPC that implemented the project, National Electrification Administration, Department of Energy, World Bank and the ECs. He likewise expressed gratitude to the EU, represented by Ambassador Luc Veron, for the PHP 3.8 billion grant to the Philippines that funded the rural network solar project, among others.

"The current trends show us what we need to do - invest in more renewable technologies to create clean and sustainable energy sources. Today, the coops showed us how we can do it," President Nani said.

The NPC Chief also expressed hope that the energy agencies and developing partners can meet again in Mindanao for the energization of the last mile of households left.

Joining President Nani in the launching of the solar farms are Ambassador Luc Veron, World Bank Country Coordinator Ndiame Diop, Mindanao Development Authority Secretary Maria Belen Acosta, DOE Undersecretary Felix William Fuentebella, World Bank Senior Energy Specialist Feng Liu and NEA Deputy Administrator Ernesto Silvano Jr.

Meanwhile, the two other grid tied solar farms in Samar is set to be switched on by end of September.

NPC’s Buhi-Barit Watershed Area Team (BBWAT) along with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), DENR-Environmental Management Bureau, Philippine Coast Guard, Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), local government officials and the Public Attorney’s Office QC conducted a three-day training to deputize selected participants in Buhi, Camarines Sur as ‘fish wardens’ for the implementation of the Bantay Lawa Program for Lake Buhi.

Republic Act No. 10654 or the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998 requires a three-day training to deputize Fishery Law Enforcement Officers.

The training of ‘fish wardens’ was made to help the Municipality of Buhi restore, protect, and save Lake Buhi and preserve Sinarapan (Mistichthys luzonensis), the world’s smallest edible fish prominent in the lake.

On the first day of the training, the Lake Development Office’s targets and accomplishments were presented. Relatively, the DENR-Environment Management Bureau presented the status of the lake’s water quality. A resource from BFAR, on the other hand, discussed the roles of Fishery Law Enforcement Officers (FLEO) and the prohibitions and penalties under R.A. No. 10654.

The Philippine Coast Guard discussed the safety and security boarding protocols in accordance with R.A. No. 9993 on the second day of the training. The Protected Area Superintendent (PASu) discussed Republic Act No. 11038 (An Act Declaring Protected Areas and Providing their Management) and Republic Act No. 9147 (An Act Providing for the Conservation and Protection of Wildlife Resources and their Habitats). A representative from Rural Health Unit also gave a brief discussion with regards to sanitation measures.

BBWAT, headed by For. Jairus B. Amistoso, then discussed the National Power Corporation’s legal mandates and areas of jurisdiction. Mr. Amistoso highlighted the role and provisional services of the BBWAT in terms of restoring, protecting, conserving, and saving the lake Buhi and the Buhi-Barit Watershed Reservation as a whole. Several queries were also addressed by Mr. Amistoso, which gave clarifications to different concerns of the constituents and stakeholders especially on regulatory services.

On the third day, selected participants subject to deputation had a whole-day hands-on training at Lake Buhi to capacitate them more with the required skills needed to fulfill their roles.

The resource speaker from the Office of the Treasury of the LGU-Buhi discussed on the last day the taxation and fees in relation to the harvest and transportation of tilapia found in the lake.

R.A. No. 8371 also known as the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act was also discussed by a resource person from NCIP. Lastly, Atty. Ramon C. Sabinorio from Public Attorney’s Office in Quezon City provided a discussion on relevant laws for the protection of the lake.

The training ended with awarding of certificates of appreciation and participation to resource speakers and participants, respectively. The activity served as a good opportunity for coordination and consultation among the concerned agencies and stakeholders in Buhi, Camarines Sur.

Buhi-Barit Watershed is one of the 11 watersheds under NPC’s stewardship. It is in the municipality of Tiwi in Albay; Buhi, Sagñay; and Iriga City in the Province of Camarines Sur.
