[ ERC RESOLUTION NO. 03, S. 2008, January 23, 2008 ]

A RESOLUTION REQUIRING THE USE OF METER STICKERS AS PART OF THE ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION'S (ERC) APPROVAL OF METERS FOR MEASUREMENTS USED BY AH DISTRIBUTION UTILITIES (DUS)



WHEREAS, under the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001, the powers and functions of the Energy Regulatory Board (ERB) including the inspection, examination and periodic approval of all meters for measurements used by DUs were transferred to the ERC:

WHEREAS, Section 2.11.3, Article II of the Distribution Services and Open Access Rules (DSOAR) explicitly provides that no meter shall be placed in service unless it has been tested, certified and sealed by the ERC;

WHEREAS, Section 3 of Commonwealth Act No. 349 provides that tests of meters shall be made once every two years;

WHEREAS, the attachment of color-coded meter sticker would make it apparent, even from a distance, that the meter has already been tested and sealed by the ERC within a specific year, thereby facilitating the monitoring of the compliance with the two (2) year period;

NOW, THEREFORE, be it RESOLVED, as the ERC hereby RESOLVES, to require the use of color-coded meter stickers, to be attached on the glass covers of the electric meters, as part of the ERC's approval of meters for measurements used by all DUs.

This Resolution shall take effect immediately following its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the Philippines.

Let this Resolution be posted on the ERC website and copies thereof be furnished the University of the Philippines Law Center - Office of the National Administrative Register (UPLC-ONAR) and all DUs.

Adopted: 23 Jan. 2008
