THE Department of Energy (DOE) has finally given the Philippine Electricity Market Corp. (PEMC) the go-signal to implement the power market scheme in the Visayas.
PEMC-run Wholesale Electricity Spot Market, which works similarly with the stock market, is a centralized venue for buyers and sellers to trade electricity as a commodity, with prices based on the actual use and availability.
This is why WESM is actively inviting stakeholders in the region’s power industry to participate in its trial operations that will help them prepare for commercial operations, which according to DOE Secretary Raphael Lotilla is slated to begin this December.
