Peak Demand increased from 3,999.31 MW in 2000 to 8,111.02 MW in 2022 with a CAGR of 3.3%. MWh Offtake increased from
24,428,481 MWh in 2000 to 50,613,848 MWh in 2022 with a CAGR of 3.4%. Within the same period, Load Factor ranged from 68% to
72% in 2000-2022, highly dependent on the changes in the sales mix among the different customer classes. Kindly note that the
information made available to Meralco only corresponds to MWh Offtake and Transmission Loss cannot be disaggregated from the MWh
Offtake, hence, MWh Offtake is equal to MWh Input.

MWh Output increased by 6.1% in 2022, while MERALCO peak demand in 2022 reached 8,111.02
MW, 3.9% higher than the 7,808.39 MW in 2021. For comparison, Luzon grid peak demand went up
by a faster rate of 4.1%, from 2021’s 11,640 MW to 12,113 MW.
This 2023, peak demand in MERALCO’s system is expected to increase by 2.9%. As economic activity
normalizes, peak demand is expected to grow annually by an average of 4.3% per year from 2022 to
2032.
It should be noted that the long-term forecast of the movement of peak demand will also be affected by
how much renewable energy systems are introduced into the system; by the effectiveness of new
energy efficiency measures put in place; and, by the changes in consumption behavior arising from the
“new normal” brought about by the pandemic. The magnitude of these will only be realized as the
industry continues to develop.

In 2022, system loss was recorded at 5.77%, affected by the changes in the sales mix among the
different customer classes. Given the current pandemic that is heavily affecting the country’s economic
activities, there had been marked decrease in industrial and commercial energy consumption coupled
by increased “higher-loss-to-serve” residential consumption due to remote learning and work-from-
home arrangements. Still, current system loss level continues to be well below the regulatory cap.
Residential
Commercial 53.45%
34.33%
Residential customers accounted for 92.4% of total connections and 53.5% of captive energy sales in
2022. Meanwhile, commercial and industrial captive customers accounted for 34.3% and 11.8% of
captive energy sales in 2022, respectively, mainly due to the migration of more commercial and
industrial customers to the contestable market.

Purchase from WESM over time was generally used to supply energy to customers during critical
peak hours and occurrences of outages. Over the years, the share of WESM to the total annual
Offtake ranged from 3% to 12%.

MERALCO peak demand in 2022 reached 8,111 MW, 3.9% higher than the 7,808 MW in 2021. As
shown in the load duration curve, the minimum load for 2022 is 3,052.5 MW. Due to the difference of
time interval used for reporting, a difference between the actual peak demand (15-min interval) and the
maximum demand indicated in the hourly load profile can be observed.
Peak MW Day
Time
Peak MW occurred on May 13, 2022. Peak daily MWh occurred on 1400H. As shown in the Load
Curves, the available supply is lower than the Peak Demand.

The Peak Demand was forecasted using the load factor approach and was assumed to occur on the
month of May every year due to seasonal increase in electricity consumption during summer months.
On the other hand, monthly Peak Demand is projected to be at its lowest on the month of January due
to cooler temperature. In general, Peak Demand is expected to grow at a rate of 4.3% annually over
the period of 2022 to 2032.
Deficit capacity, if any, represents critical peak demand which lasts for 2 to 3 hours only.

MWh Offtake was based on MWh Sales forecast using econometric models relating MWh sales to
different variables such as economic performance, number of customers, and real price of electricity
among others. The assumed load factor is based on historical load factor data.
System Loss was computed through a combination of empirical formulas and Load Flow Simulation
Study for Primary Line conducted monthly by using Synergi Electric Software. Based on the same
study, the Distribution System can adequately convey electricity to customers.

The Minimum MWh/yr values in the table above are for indicative purposes only and should not be
construed as take-or-pay volumes of the Planned CSPs, unless otherwise explicitly stated in the Terms
of References of said CSPs.
The first wave of supply procurement under the 2023 PSPP will be for (i) 1,200 MW Baseload supply,
and (ii) 1,800 MW Baseload supply.
The 1,200 MW Baseload CSP shall be the replacement for the: a.) terminated SPPC PSA under
ERC Case No. 2019-081RC, b.) SMEC (now known as SPI) PSA under ERC Case No. 2019-
083RC, and c.) failure of negotiations with Solar Philippines Batangas Baseload Corporation
(SPBBC) for execution of the 200 MW PSA. It will have the following capacity and commercial
operations date (“COD”): 810 MW by Dec 26, 2023 to increase to 1,010 MW by Feb 26, 2024, and
to further increase to 1,200 MW by Mar 26, 2024. Its contract term is fifteen (15) years (i.e., 15
Contract Years from Mar 26, 2024).
The 1,800 MW Baseload CSP conducted by MERALCO last October 2020 to February 2021,
pursuant to its DOE-approved 2020 PSPP, resulted to MERALCO signing two (2) power supply
agreements with: (i) Excellent Energy Resources Inc. (EERI) for contract capacity of 1,200 MW,
COD by Nov 26, 2024, and filed under ERC Case No. 2021-021RC, and with (ii) Masinloc Power
Partners Co. Ltd. (MPPCL) for contract capacity of 600MW, COD by Apr 26, 2025, and filed under
ERC Case No. 2021-0018RC. Subsequently, EERI and MPPCL sent Notices of Termination of the
PSAs effective last 1 April 2023. Accordingly, MERALCO shall proceed to include a CSP for the
1,800 MW baseload supply requirement in its revised 2023 PSPP, consistent with the Energy
Regulatory Commission’s Orders dated 5 September 2023. Similar to the term of the 1,800 MW
requirement during its CSP last 2020-2021, the 1,800 MW Baseload rebidding CSP will have the
following capacity and COD: 1,200 MW by Nov 26, 2024 and additional capacity of 600 MW by Apr
26, 2025. Its contract term is fifteen (15) years (i.e., 15 Contract Years from Nov 26, 2024 and Apr
26, 2025, respectively).
For the other CSPs, they will have capacity, COD, and duration as indicated below:
For the 400 MW Baseload – IPSA CSP, it will have its COD on Feb 26, 2024 with a contract term
of one (1) year only.
For the 300 MW Baseload CSP, it will have its COD on Feb 26, 2026 with a contract term of two (2)
years.
For the 900 MW Baseload CSP, it will have the following capacity and COD: 600 MW by Feb 26,
2028 and additional capacity of 300 MW by Feb 26, 2029. Its contract term is fifteen (15) years.
For the 30 MW RE Baseload CSP, it will have its COD on Feb 26, 2028 with a contract term of
twenty (20) years. This CSP will be for Meralco’s RPS compliance and shall be limited to RE eligible
power plants only.
For the 600 MW Baseload CSP, it will have the following capacity and COD: 300 MW by Feb 26,
2030 and additional capacity of 300 MW by Feb 26, 2031. Its contract term is fifteen (15) years.
For the 500 MW Midmerit CSP, it will have its COD on Feb 26, 2026 with a contract term of three
(3) years.
For the 300 MW Midmerit CSP, it will have its COD on Feb 26, 2029 with a contract term of fifteen
(15) years.
For the 200 MW Midmerit CSP, it will have its COD on Feb 26, 2029 with a contract term of fifteen
(15) years.
For the 260 MW Peaking - IPSA CSP, it will have its COD on Feb 26, 2024 with a contract term of
five (5) months only.
For the 300 MW Peaking - IPSA CSP, it will have its COD on Feb 26, 2028 with a contract term of
five (5) months only.
For the 200 MW Peaking - IPSA CSP, it will have its COD on Feb 26, 2029 with a contract term of
five (5) months only.
