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 />
