5 SALIENT FEATURES OF WESM |
Gross Pool - All energy transactions – like the demand and supply of electricity – are scheduled through the market. This allows for all the power produced, supplied, and used to be accounted in the market. Locational Marginal Price- Marginal price is computed at each node or location to reflect transmission loss and/or congestion. Net Settlement - Bilateral contract quantities transacted in the pool are settled outside the market. Mandatory Market - Distribution utilities were mandated by law to procure at least 10% of their respective electricity requirements from the WESM for the first five years of its establishment. Entities directly connected to the grid are not allowed to inject or withdraw without registering in the WESM. Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) introduces retail competition to the power industry. Aggregators shall be allowed to supply electricity to end-users whose combined demand within a contiguous area is at least 750 kW. |

The Secondary Price Cap is a price-mitigating mechanism imposed when there are persistent high market prices. When Rolling Average GWAP (RAGWAP, calculated over 3 days) breached the Cumulative Price Threshold (CPT equivalent to PhP9,000/MWh) at the said dispatch interval, the SPC (PhP6,245/MWh) shall be applied for the next dispatch interval. |
