The local government of Guimaras has filed a resolution to the National Development Council (NDC) to qualify Trans-Asia Renewables Energy Corp.’s (Tarec) Wind Farm to be included to the first phase of the feed-in tariff (FiT).
Guimaras Gov. Samuel Gumarin said that the provincial government has supported the project through a filing last week to the NDC to add the San Lorenzo Wind Farm as eligible for the first phase of the FiT.
Tarec Chairman Ramon del Rosario appeals to the Energy Regulatory Commission to release the FiT- Certificate of Endorsement for the project, citing it has already passed power to the grid.
He said there was a sudden change in the rules on defining finished project, since it was initially defined as first to pass power to the grid and not as first built.
The wind farm has been passing off power to the grid since October, passing an estimated 55 gigawatthours to the Visayas grid.
