The National Power Corporation (Napocor) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Climate Change Commission (CCC) for the rehabilitation of some 25 hectares of denuded upland forest within the Caliraya-Lumot Watershed Forest Reserve in Laguna.

The National Power Corporation (Napocor) expressed its bid to fast-track its renewable energy program in its Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG) power plants and gradually minimize the use of diesel generating sets.

Napocor President and CEO Fernando Martin Y. Roxas said that the move also came following the direction of Energy Secretary Raphael M. Lotilla to stop procuring new diesel gensets so as to lessen the Corporation’s dependence on fossil fuels.

“We intend to push for hybridization for existing SPUG and to fully utilize renewable energy with energy storage systems for new areas. This will minimize the losses incurred from rising fuel costs and will eventually make our operations more sustainable,” Roxas said.

Napocor said that it will also use and deploy more solar home systems (SHS) and install wind resource assessment (WRA) in probable areas for wind farms.

In 2022, Napocor has awarded contracts for the installation of around 2,600 units of SHS in Maconacon and Divilacan in Isabela, and in various areas in Masbate, Bohol, Dinagat, Sulu, and Basilan. SHS units include solar panels, batteries, LED lamps, radio, and torch lamps with 5V charging ports and are being distributed to unserved households in SPUG areas.

In batting for sustainability through renewable energy, Napocor can also lower its generation cost over time and minimize its carbon emission. “My ultimate goal is to convert all SPUG areas to 100% RE operations” Roxas said “What is good for the environment is likewise good for Napocor,” he added.

State-owned National Power Corporation (Napocor) said that it met agencies in the energy family including the electric cooperatives it serves to seek assistance in mitigating the impact of its insufficient funds for off-grid island operations in 2023.

Napocor President and CEO Fernando Martin Y. Roxas said that Napocor’s top management has always been in close coordination with the Department of Energy (DOE) and the government agencies in its Board since the surge in fuel price last year depleted its 2022 funds and now renders its 2023 approved budget deficient.
