Please be informed that the testing and commissioning of the 18.011 MWp Raslag-3 Solar Power Plant Project in Pampanga of RASLAG CORP. (“ASLAG”) have started today. This is ASLAG’s third operating solar power plant.
The above milestone commenced after ASLAG’s receipt from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) of the Provisional Approval To Connect for the energization of the Raslag-3 solar power plant project, approving in effect the connection of ASLAG’s User System to the Grid for feedback power/load purposes and as Generator Customer. Please see attached copy of the said approvals from the NGCP.
Given the foregoing approvals and with the anticipated full swing of Raslag-3 operations, Raslag-3 is expected to generate 13.5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) for the rest of 2022 and 27.0 GWh in 2023. Assuming an average Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) Settlement Price of Php 5.30/kWh, Raslag-3 can potentially contribute revenues of around Php 71.6 Million in 2022 and Php 142.9 Million in 2023.
Shown below is the table of projected financial highlights of Raslag-3 in the next 3 years at WESM Settlement Price of Php 5.30/kWh.
Year Sales (in kWh) Sales (in Peso) 1 (2nd half of 2022) 13,525,080 71,682,924.00 2 (2023) 26,969,010 142,935,753.00 3 (2024) 26,888,102 142,506,940.60
Notably, the above projection may go higher considering that the average WESM Settlement Price is on the upward trend these recent months as shown by the table below:
2022 Average WESM Settlement Price (Peso/kWh) January 7.86 February 6.41 March 7.73 April 6.68 May 6.59 June 9.88
Thank you.
