                    [Summary] => 



Industrialist and Consumer advocate Raul T. Concepcion is urging the government to commit the transfer of power plants being administered by the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM) to the independent power producer administrators (IPPAs).


Concepcion said this is one of the crucial factors that would fast track the implementation of open access and retail competition in the power industry.

                    [Summary] => The government is set to bid out contracts for independent power producer administrators (IPPAs) within the year, a ranking energy official said.


In his yearend 2005 report, Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla said the IPPAs’ auction is one of the items in the priority list of the Department of Energy (DOE) for 2006.


Lotilla admitted that the identification of the IPPAs is part of the major challenges that the power sector would be facing this year.


Restructuring the electric power industry, he said, remains a major priority of the government.
