Case Study: Philippine Electricity Market Corporation improves market operations with PA Consulting

Improving the operation of a competitive electricity market

Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC), the operator of the Philippines’ wholesale electricity spot market, needed to ensure strong compliance, confidence, and effective operations in a competitive market. PEMC engaged PA Consulting to carry out annual operational audits across its market operations, business processes, and supporting ICT systems.

PA Consulting examined scheduling, dispatch, clearing and settlement, and ICT controls, identifying areas of non-compliance and recommending improvements to market design, payment and collection processes, and operational controls. Over three years, PEMC implemented many of PA Consulting’s recommendations, improving business processes and controls and helping establish greater participant confidence in the market’s operation.
