Northern Mindanao ECs will host Orientation on Joint Ventures and Renewable Energy Development

Electric cooperatives from Northern Mindanao, including FIBECO, MORESCO-I, MORESCO-II, BUSECO, LANECO, MOELCI-I, MOELCI-II, and CAMELCO, will convene for an Orientation and Briefing on Joint Ventures with Embedded Generation on Thursday, January 30, 2025 at the Eaton Hall, Mallberry Suites and Business Hotel in Cagayan de Oro City . The event, to be hosted by the Northern Mindanao Electric Cooperatives Association (NORMECA), aimed to equip the Board of Directors and management teams with the knowledge needed to explore joint ventures and renewable energy opportunities.

The rationale behind the coming activity highlights the coops’ focus on distribution, with limited expertise in managing generation-related ventures. To address this gap, the orientation will provide insights into the legal and technical aspects of joint ventures and renewable energy development, to be facilitated by the expertise of TERRED.

A comprehensive session on Renewable Energy Development and Green Financing for Electric Cooperatives, will be led by Engr. Ray Vincent B. Manzano, and a discussion on Photovoltaic Modules and Solar Home Systems (PVM/SHS), will be presented by Engr. Chyrenor A. Javier.

This orientation emphasizes the importance of active participation from the Board of Directors, who play a critical role as the Head of the Procuring Entity and decision-makers. With joint ventures and renewable energy projects poised to strengthen the sustainability of electric cooperatives, the event will serve as a vital platform for capacity building and informed decision-making.

MORESCO-1 to Hold This Year’s Flagship Event: BLF 2024 on December 4

Following the success of MORESCO-1’s Big Loads Forum on November 29, 2022, and the highly engaging LGU Energy Forum on January 17, 2023, participant feedback highlighted both events as insightful, informative, and comprehensible. When surveyed, attendees unanimously supported the idea of making these forums an annual event—a testament to their significant value.

The BLF 2024 will address pressing issues and emerging trends within the energy sector, delivering comprehensive updates for both high and low voltage consumers (HV/LV) within MORESCO-1’s franchise area. Attendees can expect in-depth discussions covering the Power Supply Outlook, Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA), the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM), Net Metering, the Green Energy Option Program, MORESCO-1’s strategic future-proofing initiatives, and the bill deposit mechanism, among others. This forum aims to bolster the cooperative’s role as a trailblazer by fostering partnerships and promoting meaningful collaboration.

The event will also honor our valued big load partners, expressing heartfelt gratitude for their exemplary commitment and outstanding contributions to MORESCO-1. Their timely, consistent, and punctual payments for energy consumption have been instrumental to the cooperative’s continued success. This unwavering dedication not only drives operational efficiency but also fortifies MORESCO-1’s standing as one of the nation’s top-performing electric cooperatives.

Key resource speakers for the event include MORESCO-1’s Engineering Services Manager, Collen B. Tarcelo; Corporate Planning Manager, Joni Jane F. Cabantac; Manticao Service Area Manager, Jogiepril D. Legaspi; with a keynote address by Acting General Manager, Jovel B. Ubay-Ubay.

Additionally, a dedicated Energy Forum tailored for local government units and their Municipal Councils will be scheduled shortly after the BLF 2024.

This flagship event is spearheaded by the Institutional Services Department (ISD), with the Member Customer Development Chief and the Corporate Public Relations Office at the forefront, in collaboration with Corporate Planning, Engineering Services, the Management Committee, and the Service Area Offices in Talakag, Opol, Laguindingan, and Manticao.
