Reference excerpt

The Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines, Inc. (IEMOP) is a private, non-stock, non-profit corporation that functions as the market operator of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM). It assumed WESM operations in September 2018. IEMOP's board of directors is composed of individuals independent from the power industry stakeholders and the government as mandated by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA).

Legal Basis IEMOP was incorporated in May 2018 upon the initiative of the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC) to be the Independent Market Operator (IMO) of the WESM. This is pursuant to Section 30 of Republic Act No. 9136, otherwise known as the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (EPIRA). The establishment of an IMO was further reiterated in the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the EPIRA Rule 9, Section 6(a).

History The Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC) operated the WESM as the Market Operator until the transition to the IMO. The transition to the Independent Market Operator (IMO) was implemented in 2018 upon the following issuances and actions. These two actions consist of the joining endorsement of the DOE and the electric power industry participants of the transition to an independent entity to become the IMO and transfer it to the market operator functions, assets, and liabilities from PEMC.

Promulgation by the DOE of its Circular No. DC2018-01-0002 (17 January 2018) entitled "Adopting Policies for the Effective and Effective and Efficient Transition to the Independent Market Operator for the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market" Adoption by the Philippine Electricity Market Board and the general membership of the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC) of the "Plan for Transition to the Independent Market Operator of the Wholesale Electricity Sport Market". This was adopted in a Special Membership Meeting of PEMC specially called for the purpose on 6 February 2019. The PEM Board and the PEMC membership, registered members of the WESM, represented the electric power industry participants. Pursuant to the DOE Circular and IMO Transition Plan, an entity that is separate from PEMC and with no interest from any electric power industry participant was formed to become the IMO. This separate is the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines Inc. (IEMOP). IEMOP was incorporated under the Corporation Code of the Philippines as a private non-stock, non-profit corporation.

Formation of the IMO and Organization of WESM Governing Body In implementing the transition, the DOE Circular No. DC2018-01-0002 called for, among other things, (a) the formation of the IMO and (b) for PEMC to remain as the governance arm or body of the WESM. The IMO is directed to be an entity, formed separate from PEMC and incorporated as a private corporation under the Corporation Code of the Philippines. It is further directed that no electric power industry participant shall hold any interest, whether directly or indirectly, in the IMO. It is to operate the integrated WESM and retail market on a non-profit basis. The Circular further directed that PEMC shall remain to be the WESM governing body and shall perform its functions as set out in the WESM Rules and market manuals. Its Board of Directors, be the Philippine Electricity Market Board (PEM Board), and the various governance committees shall perform their functions as set out in the rules.

Incorporation of the IEMOP as IMO Pursuant to the above-described guidelines set out in the DOE Circular and implemented in the IMO Transition Plan, an entity that is separate from PEMC and with no interest from any electric power industry participant was formed to become the IMO. This separate is the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines Inc. (IEMOP). IEMOP was incorporated under the Corporation Code of the Philippines as a private non-stock, non-profit corporation. IEMOP was incorporated with the Primary Purpose, as follows: Manage and operate the market for the wholesale purchase of electricity and ancillary services in the Philippines (the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market) and engage in services related to the same, in accordance with Republic Act No. 9136 including its implementing rules and regulations, the rules promulgated to govern the operations of the WESM (the “WESM Rules”), including their respective amendments and such other laws, rules and regulations which may be enacted hereafter that shall govern the WESM, and in an efficient, competitive, transparent and reliable manner, with the end in view of improving the trading, delivery and provision of electricity and ancillary services to the Philippine Electric Power Industry Participants.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines

In research: Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Companies based in Pasig, Electric power companies of the Philippines, Electricity markets, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
