A. Project Title: Renewable Energy Manufacturing Industry Study
B. DREAMS Project Description
1. Goal: “reduce GHG emissions from the power sector, the objective is to promote and facilitate the commercialization of the renewable energy (RE) markets through the removal of barriers to increase investments in RE based power generation project.”
2. Outcome indicators: “Direct emissions reductions will be 205,181 tonnes of CO2eq and 20,000 sitio-based households will have access to RE sources.
3. Components and expected outcomes:
Components
Outcomes
Enforcement of a supportive policy and regulatory environment = increase in RE investments
Strengthened institutional capacity = increase in RE project approvals
Increased number of operational RE projects = increase in confidence of RE developers on viability of RE
Capitalized RE markets = increase in RE based power capacity
4. Stakeholders for the project.
The project is being implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE). DOE assumes over-all responsibility for the achievement of project results. The Project is co-financed with funding from the GEF. UNDP acts as the GEF Executing Agency. All components of the Project are being implemented by the Renewable Energy Management Bureau (REMB).
A Project Support Group (PSG) composed of technical staff/specialist from the other Bureaus and divisions of DOE has been formed to provide technical advice in the implementation of the activities including monitoring and evaluation. A Project Steering Committee has been established to serve as a policy and decision-making body for the project implementation. (The members of the PSC are DOE, DILG, DENR, NEDA, TRANSCO, NGCP, NPC, PEMC, UNDP, and representative from the local governments of Iloilo and Palawan. )
A Project Management Unit (PMU) is based at the DOE Compound. The PMU is headed by a National Project Director (NPD) who is also the Director of the REMB. A Project Manager and support staff oversees the day to day operations of the DREAMS Project Management Office.
C. Scope of Work of the Required Services
1. These required services relate to two components of the DREAMS Project:
a. Component 1: RE Policy and Planning and in particular Output 1.5: Approved policy recommendations for promoting local manufacturing and assembly of quality RE systems.
b. Component 4: RE Commercialization and in particular Output 4.4: Accredited Technicians for RE equipment assembly and supply working with local RE manufacturing entities.
2. As contained in the DREAMS Document, a successful local RE Manufacturing and Assembly Industry will:
a. Catalyze the accreditation of more RE Manufacturers and Assembler
b. Enhance the national supply chain for RE equipment and parts
c. Prevent influx of inferior RE equipment
d. Reduce electricity cost through the successful manufacture and supply of RE Equipment
e. Generate jobs for certified Technicians for RE related technologies
3. The Individual Consultant is required to:
a. Submit an industry study that assesses the current status of the RE Manufacturing and Equipment Assembly Industry in the Philippines from 2008 to 2019. The study must include the assessment of capacities of existing RE manufacturers, analysis of the industry’s technical manpower requirements, review of current RE product standards and the status of implementation of existing enabling policies and programs for the RE Manufacturing Industry Sector.
b. Submit a policy document and strategy paper that aligns the development of the sector vis a vis the objectives of the RE Law (RA9513) and the strategies of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) 2011-2030.
