FORECASTING
The ability of the electric cooperative to accurately forecast future energy and
demand requirement of the distribution system is a critical component for effective
and correct identification of CAPEX projects. Inaccurate forecast may result to
wrong prescription of projects by the system managers or planners, either by
overbuilding or under-building capacity. In any case, this would result in significant
cost to the consumers.
FORECASTING APPROACHES AND METHODOLOGY
The most appropriate forecasting methodology for distribution utilities is Small
Area forecasting to capture both magnitude and spatial characteristics of the
load within the franchise or coverage area of the utility company. However, the
current state of database and analytical models of the Electric Cooperatives are
not sufficient yet to apply this approach or methodology. There are two
forecasting methodology that can be used by the ECs. These are the
Econometric Analysis and Trend Analysis
There are also two (2) approaches in forecasting the Peak Demand. The first
approach is to forecast the peak demand directly. The second approach is to
forecast energy first then compute the peak demand from an assumed load
factor. The Distribution Planner must assess which approach is best for the data
available
TESTING AND IMPROVING THE FORECASTING MODELS
The forecasting models formulated must be tested for validity. The R2 and
Adjusted R2 statistics are good measure of fit of the model to the historical data.
These statistics must be used to assess whether the addition of independent
variable are valid or not. For econometric models, the Adjusted R2 statistic should
be at least 80% while for trend models, it should be at least 99% for the model to
be valid. Predictors or independent variables must also be tested for their validity
using at least the p-value and t-statistic. For the variable to be valid, the p-value
should be lower than 0.1 while the t-statistic should be greater than 2 or less than
-2. For all the valid forecasting models formulated, the Mean Absolute
Percentage Error (MAPE) must be computed. The MAPE of the final forecasting
model should not exceed 5%.
In case, the forecasting models formulated failed either or both in terms of
validity and accuracy, the Distribution Planner must improve the model by using
additional data or through some variants of the model.
DEMAND AND CUSTOMER FORECASTS
The EC must forecast the following:
o
o
o

Annual peak demand and energy for each substation for 10 years;
Annual Sales or Customer Consumption per customer class for 10 years;
Annual Number of customers per customer class for 10 years;

III. DOE - DISTRIBUTION DEVELOPMENT PLAN

CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND
1. Legal Basis
Rule 3 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act
No.9136 (EPIRA) states that the Department of Energy (DOE) is mandated to
prepare and update annually the Power Development Program (PDP) and
Philippine Energy Plan (PEP). The PDP shall then consider and integrate the
Distribution Development Plan (DDP) of the Distribution Utilities (DUs).
Rule 7, Section 4 of the EPIRA-IRR indicates that the DUs shall prepare and
submit to the DOE an annual five-year DDP not later than 15th of March each
year. In the case of Electric Cooperatives (ECs), such plans shall be
submitted through National Electrification Administration (NEA) for review and
consolidation. Thus, NEA shall submit to DOE the consolidated ECs DDP not
later than 15th of March each year.
Department Circular No. 2004-02-002 prescribed the guidelines for the
formulation of a five-year DDP pursuant to Sec. 2 of Department Circular No.
DC2003-12-011. DC No. 2004-02-002 also prescribed two forms: (1)DOE-EPIMB
Form-03-001 (DDP Form); and (2) DOE-EPIMB Form 03-002 (BEP Form)
Since the PEP covers the ten-year planning horizon, the DUs are then required
to extend the five-year energy and demand forecast to a ten-year projection
to be consistent with the PEP.
In addition, Section 11 of Republic Act No. 9513 (Renewable Energy Act) and
Section 8 of its Implementing Rules and Regulations states that all DUs shall
include the required connection facilities for RE-based power facilities in the
DDP.

The DDP will also serve as reference in the determination of infrastructure

requirements to ensure quality, reliability, and security of supply at the
distribution level. This includes expansion and/or rehabilitation of the facilities.
The DDP is also a source of information for investment promotion and project
prioritization.

CHAPTER II
OBJECTIVES
The DOEs Electric Power Industry Management Bureau (EPIMB), as part of its
mandate shall review the list of distribution development projects with the
view to encourage private sector participation under a competitive
environment. EPIMB shall also provide indicative timetables to ensure
sufficient lead times in the construction of power facilities.
The DOE's review of the DDPs shall take into account consistency with the
general and specific policies for the energy sector, the assumptions used in
formulation of such plans, and the consistency of such plans with national
and regional resource assessments, development programs, and project
timetables of various energy upstream activities.
The EPIMB shall also use the data described in the DDP for the following
purposes;
(1) validate electricity demand forecasts at the macro level in the next ten
(10) years; and
(2) simulate power supply plan based on the demand forecasts and come
up with indicative plant line-up
After evaluating the results of the simulations, the DOE, if necessary, requests
further clarification and/or amendments from concerned DUs. The EPIMB shall
recommend the DOEs approval and adoption of the DDPs and their
integration with the PDP/PEP no later than June 30 of each year.
The integrated PDP/PEP shall be submitted to the Congress on or before
September 15th every year.

13e. Local Private Supply: The purpose of this section is to identify and
quantify the amount of customer-owned or other self-generating capacity,
including Renewable Energy -based power facilities ,installed and utilized
within the DUs franchise area.
Installed Capacity in this section should reflect the total kW of all embedded
generators. Capacity Used for Own Use should reflect that portion of
Installed Capacity that is normally used to supply customer load at the time
of the DUs system peak.
Example: If a customer has two units of 500 kW generators and
operates one unit at maximum capacity to provide electric
supply while maintaining the other as back up, the Installed
Capacity is 1,000 kW and the Capacity for Own Use is 500 kW.
If a customer has a 500 kW generator but using it only as
standby, the Installed Capacity is 500 kW and the Capacity for
Own Use is zero.
Energy for Own Use is the total annual energy requirements in MWh of the
customer to be sourced from self-generating facility.
Energy Supply (surplus of embedded generator) is the maximum energy the
self-generating facility can supply to the DU annually.
13f. Total Supply: Total Capacity is the sum of the following:
1. Aggregate of all Dependable Capacity (kW) for each utility-owned
power generating facility listed in Section 13a.

(Supply from NPC and NPC-TSC).
3. Aggregate of all the DUs firm energy supply contracts from others
as listed in Section 13d.
4. Contracted Energy sourced from Local Private Supply (MWH) listed
in Section 13e.
13g Supply-Demand Surplus/ (Deficit): Capacity supply and demand is the
difference between the Capacity in Section 13f (Total Supply) and Section
11a (Total Peak Demand).
Energy supply and demand is the difference between the Energy in Section
13f (Total Supply) and Section 10a (Total Electricity Purchased or Generated).
13h Owned Production Facilities: This item requires to list down the selfgenerating facilities identified in Section 13a. There is a need to indicate the
operators name, if the operation and maintenance is entrusted to entity(ies)
other than the owner of the plant.
13i Supply from other sources: This item requires identifying and listing down
sources of power supply other than NPC or non-NPC Independent Power
Producers (IPPs), if there is any.
13j Wheeling Service: This is an indicator whether the reporting DU is
providing wheeling service.
13k Customers of Wheeling Service: If yes in 13j, this item requires the DU to list
down the customers paying wheeling fees to the DUs and other information
