SECTION 1

1.0 Project Description

1 AC Energy, Inc. (ACE) [the Proponent], in partnership with Marubeni Corporation (Marubeni), through a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”), is planning to develop a 150-MW diesel engine power plant in Barangay Malaya, Pililla, Rizal, Region IV-A (CALABARZON). The SPV intends to enter into an Ancillary Services Procurement Agreement (“ASPA”) with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (“NGCP”), whereby the SPV will be required to deliver 80MW of firm Regulating Reserve capacity and 70MW of firm Contingency Reserve capacity for a period of five years, which may be extended for another five-year period.

2 The power plant will be composed of 150 modular diesel engine units, each having a rated capacity of 1MW. These diesel units will be leased by the SPV from Aggreko International Projects Limited (Aggreko).

3 The proposed project also involves the installation of a gas-insulated substation within the site and the construction of approx. 650-meter single-circuit transmission line, in order to connect the power plant to the Luzon Grid via the NGCP’s 230kV Malaya Substation.

4 Table 1 provides some basic information regarding the proposed project, the Proponent, and the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) preparer.

1.1 PROJECT LOCATION AND AREA

5 The proposed project will be utilizing a 6.8-hectare leased industrial lot in Barangay Malaya in the Municipality of Pililla, Rizal, Region IV-A (CALABARZON). Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the location map and aerial photograph of the proposed project site location (N 14.391015°, E 121.334984°), while Figure 3 and Figure 4 present the proposed site and plant layout plans for the project.

6 As shown, the site is situated within the old Shell Lube Oil refinery complex by the lakeside of the Laguna de Bay and along the Pililla-Jala-Jala-Pakil Road. It is near the Malaya Thermal Power Plant and the NGCP Malaya Substation.

1.1.1 Site Accessibility

7 By land transportation, main access to the project site is via the Pililla-Jala-Jala-Pakil Road. Alternatively, it may also be accessed through water transport via the Laguna de Bay.

1.1.2 Project Impact Areas

1 The EIA study will cover the direct and indirect impact areas for the proposed project identified based on the guidelines provided in Annex 3 of the DENR Memorandum Circular No. 2010-14. Figure 5 graphically presents the initial delineation of the proposed project’s impact areas.

2 As per the DENR guidelines, the direct impact area (DIA) is defined as the area where all the project facilities are proposed to be situated and where all operations are proposed to be undertaken. For this project, the DIA is initially delimited to consist of the 6.8-hectare site where the diesel power plant components and facilities will be located and operated, as well as the areas to be traversed by the transmission line (project footprints).

3 On the other hand, the indirect impact area (IIA) identification takes into account the extent of the potential project impacts on biophysical (land, water, and air quality) and socio-economic aspects. For this project, the IIA generally covers the areas in the immediate vicinity of the project site, including the Laguna de Bay, as well as the host local government units (“LGUs”) of Barangay Malaya and Municipality of Pililla, which are expected to benefit from the additional employment, business opportunities, taxes that may be contributed by the proposed project, in addition to power supply stability. The IIA coverage may be expanded to also include the adjacent LGUs, the Province of Rizal, Region IV-A, and, furthermore, the entire Luzon region, which can benefit from the ancillary services to be provided by the project to the power grid.

4 The delineation of the project’s impact areas may later on be updated or defined in technical terms once the impact assessment has been conducted.

1.2 PROJECT RATIONALE

5 In general, ancillary services are essential to sustaining the transmission capacity and maintaining the power quality, reliability, and security of the grid. Sudden fluctuations in the frequency and the voltage of the transmission system are typically brought about by the intermittent operations of renewable energy plants, unplanned outages of conventional power plants, as well as the daily operational cycle of large power consumers.

6 Through the deployment of modular, fast-start, high-speed, quick-response, small capacity, diesel-fired generating units, the proposed INGRID Pililla Diesel Power Plant Project aims to deliver two types of ancillary services to the NGCP:

Regulating Reserve (“RR”) / Frequency Regulation – The diesel units will respond to small, instantaneous fluctuations in system frequency, primarily brought about by conventional and rapid changes in the demand and supply of electricity. NGCP requires an automatic and immediate response from the generating unit/s providing RR by having all RR units to be online, typically at 50% capacity.

Contingency Reserve (“CR”) / Spinning Reserve – The diesel units will respond to a significant drop in system frequency, as a result of an abrupt outage or loss of generating unit/s or transmission line in the system. Similar to RR, CR units are required by the NGCP to respond automatically to frequency triggers. Synchronization to the grid can be made on a sector level.

7 The Proponent is required to secure an Environmental Compliance Certificate (“ECC”) from the DENR-EMB prior to any development in the project site. Pre-requisite to the acquisition of an ECC for a project of this scale is the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”), as stated in Annex A Item No. 3.2.4 (Other Thermal Power Plants e.g., coal, diesel, bunker, etc. with total power generating capacity equal to or greater than 30 MW) of the EMB Memorandum Circular 005-2014 (“Revised Guidelines for Coverage Screening and Standardized Requirements under the Philippine EIS System”).

1.3 PROJECT ALTERNATIVES

1.3.1 Site Selection

8 Technical, environmental, and land use considerations were taken in the selection of the site for the proposed project. The absence of critical habitats within the project site and its proximity to possible tapping point (NGCP’s Malaya Substation) were some of the main factors that contributed to its selection. No other sites were considered for the proposed project.

1.3.2 Technology Selection

9 A conventional thermal power plant facility that would utilize bunker fuels for power generation was initially proposed for the project. However, it was later on decided that a modular power technology would be adopted for the following reasons:

Fast start capability: Modular power technology can start-up, synchronize, and reach its full capacity within one minute, due to its high-speed reciprocating engine configuration.

Frequency triggered start-up/shutdown: At defined settings, it automatically starts when the frequency drops and automatically de-synchronizes from the grid and shuts down as soon as the grid frequency returns to the normal bandwidth.

Frequency stability: When the frequency decreases below the minimum set-point, the modular diesel engine will supply the additional power, in order to maintain the grid’s normal frequency. Conversely, when the system frequency increases above the maximum set-point, the generator will automatically decrease its load.

Zero minimum stable loading: It can operate at zero minimum load for extended periods.

Fast ramp rate: The ramp rate of a 1-MW modular diesel engine is about 35kW per second. Thus, it can operate from 0% to 100% MW output in 28 seconds.

10 Figure 8 shows an illustrative and an actual sample of a modular diesel power plant.

1.3.3 Resources

11 The use of diesel fuel for ancillary service purposes is particularly favored for the following reasons:

Environmental impact: Diesel oil is much cleaner as compared to bunker fuel oil and coal.

Availability: Diesel fuel is obtained almost exclusively from crude oil/petroleum and availability of diesel is relatively stable.

Affordability: Diesel is an affordable source of energy for the Philippines.

1.4 PROJECT SIZE

12 The proposed power plant will have a total generation capacity of 150 megawatts. The total land area that will be utilized for the proposed project is approximately 6.8 hectares.
