Distribution Development Plan and Power Supply Procurement Plan

The Distribution Development Plan and Power Supply Procurement Plan for Sultan Kudarat Electric Cooperative, Inc. (COTELCO-PPALMA) details comprehensive historical consumption data, peak demand trends, customer class sales distributions, system loss statistics, load profiles, and long-term contracted power supply timelines.

The number of Residential connections is expected to grow at a rate of 10.68% annually. Said customer class is expected to account for 92.58% of the total consumption. Customer Connections from Lebak and Kalamansig will be connected to grid by August 2025 and for Sen. Ninoy Aquino and Palimbang will be by year 2027 and 2028, respectively.

Key Analytical Dimensions & Planning Metrics

Summary of historical demand profiles, sales breakdown, market exposure, and expansion milestones.

01

Historical Consumption Data Analysis

Comprehensive examination of annual kilowatt-hour demand trends reveals significant steady growth in power utilization across franchise territories over the past decade.

02

Energy Sales Distribution by Customer Type

The distribution of energy sales indicates a dominant reliance on residential consumers (accounting for 92.58% of volume), supported by growing commercial and public lighting loads.

03

Monthly MWh Offtake Trends

Offtake profiles reflect pronounced seasonal variations corresponding with dry season cooling peaks and agricultural milling seasons across South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat.

04

WESM Share and Historical Trends

Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) participation is actively balanced against bilateral Power Supply Agreements (PSAs) to optimize generation charge stability and curtail tariff volatility.

05

Load Profile and Duration Curve Insights

Empirical load duration curves provide precise insights into baseload requirements, mid-merit needs, and peak-hour operating margins required to maintain sub-transmission grid reliability.

06

Forecasted Consumption & Demand Projections

Rigorous econometric modeling forecasts compounded demand growth over the 2025–2034 horizon, driven by rural electrification milestones and industrial energization projects.

07

Power Supply Procurement Plans

Competitive Selection Process (CSP) schedules delineate long-term baseload and renewable energy procurement rounds aligned with national Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS).

08

Captive Customer Connections Growth

Residential connections expand at 10.68% annually. Island off-grid areas of Lebak and Kalamansig connect to the main grid by August 2025, followed by Sen. Ninoy Aquino (2027) and Palimbang (2028).
