Notes:
* based on January 2010 supply month preliminary bills of power suppliers
** includes NPC TSC, Assigned TSC (Masinloc, Makban, Pagbilao, Sual and Calaca) and residual from NPC special programs
*** based on January 2010 preliminary bill and other WESM adjustments
a - The dispatch figures shown are the capacity factors of the IPPs' power plants.
b - for GRAM, ICERA, Franchise and Benefits to Host Communities
c - for Market Fees and other billing adjustments
d - adjustment for transmission line fee
e - The rise in IPP’s overall generation cost was due to the increase in First Gas plants’ lower effective fuel cost, resulting in higher variable costs per kWh. The drop in dispatch of QPPL and Sta. Rita plants also contributed to the increase in IPP rates.
f - represents the amount of PhP65.5 million pilferage recovery returned by Meralco to its customers
g - calculated based on the formula provisionally-approved by the ERC on June 27, 2007 in ERC Case No. 2007-111 RC
