Financial Statement<br />

EBWPC will operate and maintain the wind farm under a ten-year operations and maintenance<br />

agreement with Vestas. The Vestas O&M contract is a service and energy-based availability<br />

agreement based on Vestas’ Active Output Management 5000 product. The agreement is a<br />

full-scope maintenance contract covering both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance with an<br />

energy-based availability on the wind turbines. The agreement covers the wind turbines, wind<br />

farm electrical balance-of-plant systems, the wind turbine yaw back-up generators and the Burgos<br />

Substation as opposed to a traditional O&M contract that provides a guarantee that the turbines in<br />

a wind power plant are operational for a defined period of time on an annual basis (referred to as<br />

time-based availability), the AOM 5000 model provides an energy-based guarantee, which<br />

encourages the contractor to ensure that the turbines are fully-operational when the wind is<br />

blowing.<br />

40. Renewable Energy Payment Agreement<br />

Under Section 2.2 of the ERC Resolution No. 24, Series of 2013, A Resolution Adopting the<br />

Guidelines on the Collection of the FIT Allowance (FIT-All) and the Disbursement of the FIT-All<br />

Fund (the FIT-All Guidelines), all eligible renewable energy (RE) plant shall enter into a<br />

Renewable Energy Payment Agreement (REPA) with the TransCo for the payment of the FIT.<br />

Pursuant to the FIT-All Guidelines, EBWPC entered into a REPA with TransCo for its Burgos<br />

Wind Power Plants. The REPA became effective after all the documents enumerated in<br />

Section 3.1 of the REPA have been submitted to and certified complete by TransCo. Included in<br />

those required documents is the FIT COC issued by the ERC on April 13, 2015.<br />

Similarly, on April 24, 2015, the Parent Company entered into a REPA for its 4.16-MW Solar<br />

Power Plants with TransCo.<br />

In accordance with the REPA, all actual RE generation from the commercial operations date<br />

(COD) until the effective date of the REPA (effective date) were billed to and collected from the<br />

Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC) at market price.<br />

After the effective date, billings for all actual RE generation have been submitted directly to and<br />

collected from the TransCo at the applicable FIT rate as approved by the ERC. In addition, the<br />

actual FIT differential from the COD until the effective date was also billed to TransCo over the<br />

number of months which lapsed during that period.<br />

Total revenue from TransCo recognized in <strong>2016</strong> and 2015 under the REPAs amounted to<br />

₱2,817.4 million and ₱2,124.0 million, respectively.<br />

Total revenue from PEMC recognized in <strong>2016</strong> and 2015 from Burgos Wind and Solar Power<br />

Plants amounted to ₱4.7 million and ₱279.6 million, respectively.<br />
