                    [Title] => ERC okays new dispatch scheme for Meralco
                    [Summary] => The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has approved a new dispatch protocol for Manila Electric Co. (Meralco)which will allow its independent power producers (IPPs) to run at contracted levels. 


The ERC said the new dispatch scheme will replace the economic dispatch protocol (EDP) earlier imposed by the commission.


The ERC order recognized Meralco’s and the National Power Corp.’s arguments contained in their respective motion for reconsideration filed last Feb. 9, 2006 that the previous dispatch system under EDP is "counter-productive".
