EDC PR 2016 (EC section)

Our Economic Performance
EDC operates
the country’s
first combined
wind and solar
farm in Burgos,
Ilocos Norte
We conduct preventive maintenance and
comprehensive rehabilitation of acquired plants,
which are aligned with EDC’s more recent companywide
typhoon-proofing and retrofitting activities
given climate hazards. Several of our plants have
been running more efficiently due to these efforts.
Attaining generation targets requires successful
implementation of both equipment reliability
uprating and typhoon resiliency initiatives. To be
sustainable, we must manage our risks, and continue
to build upon our strengths.
Market Growth
Our biggest client remains to be the National Power
Corporation (NPC), which bought 46 percent or
3,908.0 GWh of the 8,531.5 GWh sales volume from
our electricity business. We also supplied power to
the National Transmission Corporation (TRANSCO)
and WESM, among others.
Consumers are becoming more conscious of
the negative impacts of human actions on the
environment. Companies are also more proactive
in adopting environmentally friendly processes to
achieve their sustainability goals. Some of the most
influential multinationals have committed to go
100 percent renewable. This provides an opportunity
for growth for EDC — the country’s provider of 100
percent clean, renewable power — especially now,
when they already have a choice on where to get their
power supply under the Philippine electric power
industry’s retail competition and open access regime.
Given that our values align, we can be the chosen
energy provider of eco-conscious consumers.
