10 10/16 LEGAL FRAMEWORK _ Electric Cooperatives can assign villages to be supplied with electricity by Qualified Third Parties _ Qualified Third Parties can apply for electricity supply license with ERC _ UC-ME subsidy to buy down the kwh price for end customers available and can be negotiated with ERC tariffs need to be checked by ERC _ MPE metering technology and block model are in the process of being accredited by ERC

11 11/16 VILLAGES SOUGHT AND FOUND _ High density of population (>1500 inhabitants per m 2 ) _ Village population of 3,000 to 10,000 people _ Electric Cooperative willing to open the village for Qualified Third Party electrification _ Track record of positive economic development in the village _ Working social and political structure within the community (family structure, democratic structure, etc.)

12 12/16 CURRENT ELECTRICITY SUPPLY SITUATION AND SPLIT OF ASSETS

13 13/16 LONG BANCA RIDES TO CITY DIFFICULT MONEY TRANSPORT

14 14/16 WOMEN LIKE THE IDEA OF ELECTRICITY EXPENDITURE BUDGETING

15 15/16 CONCLUSIONS _ Supplying electricity in the Philippines is highly burocratic and involves considerable transaction costs _ Attractive villages for Micro-Utilities (quick demand growth, high density villages, large villages, working decision making structures) are available _ In some villages strong demand growth thanks to tourism _ The MicroPowerEconomy block planning model fits nicely into the local family environment and household budget planning _ The split of assets can be implemented easily in systems where there is already a grid available _ Meters alrady installed at poles no grid structure changes required _ BAPA can easily be transformed into mini-grid operator
