The World Bank intends to ultimately integrate the herein findings and recommend best practices for private sector participation in TD systems and open access to TD grids in a comprehensive ESMAP report. The Philippine electricity industry has been undergoing restructuring directed and implemented in accordance with the Electric Power Industry Reform Act or EPIRA. Prior to the EPIRA, central management and control of both generation and transmission in the whole country was under the state‐owned National Power Corporation (NPC). Its electricity supply came from its own power plants and from Independent Power Producers (IPPs). It had sole ownership of the transmission grid and was also responsible for central systems planning and systems operations. Electricity was supplied to end‐users by franchised distribution utilities (DUs) which contracted with NPC and/or IPPs for electricity supply and with NPC for transmission of its power supply. There were also end-users not being supplied electricity by the DUs as they were ‘directly connected’ to the transmission grid by sub‐transmission assets.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOINFORMATION DISSEMINATIONAUCTIONNEW MARKETBUSINESS ACTIVITIESJOINT VENTUREDISTRIBUTION SERVICESREGULATORY FRAMEWORKBEST PRACTICESPUBLIC UTILITIESSUPERVISIONEQUIPMENTPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONCUSTOMERDATA TRANSMISSIONINSTALLATIONCERTIFICATEMATERIALSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFORMATION SYSTEMGLOBAL KNOWLEDGEBUYERCAPABILITYCOMMUNICATION NETWORKINFORMATIONNETWORK MODELJOINT VENTUREMONITORINGCOMMUNICATION PROTOCOLIMPLEMENTING AGENCYSOFTWARE SOLUTIONSIMAGEINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTCOPYRIGHTCONSULTANTSIMPLEMENTATION PLANSTRANSMISSIONOPEN ACCESSPRIVATE SECTORIMPLEMENTATION PLANPRICEVERIFICATIONTIME PERIODDISTRIBUTION SERVICEDISTRIBUTION SERVICESLEGAL BASISPERFORMANCE MEASUREREGISTRYMARKET INFORMATIONCASH FLOWSDISPUTE RESOLUTIONOPEN ACCESSDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMHARDWARECOMMUNICATIONSDATATECHNICAL ASSISTANCEGEOGRAPHICAL AREACOMMERCESTANDARD CONTRACTPERFORMANCE INDICATORSFAIR COMPETITIONLICENSEDISTRIBUTION NETWORKSTARGETSMARKET DEMANDSMARKETINGCUSTOMER SEGMENTBARRIERS TO ENTRYBUYERSDELIVERY SERVICEAUTOMATIONPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONCONSULTANTSERVICE PROVIDERPAYMENT METHODSCUSTOMER RESPONSESACTION PLANCUSTOMER SERVICEMATERIALCAPITAL EXPENDITUREEND‐USERNETWORK SERVICECOMMON CARRIERFRANCHISE AREADISTRIBUTION SYSTEMMARKET PRICEMARKET DEMANDSTRANSACTIONSUSERSTECHNOLOGYTRANSACTIONBUSINESS PROCESSESSYSTEM DEVELOPMENTCONSUMER PROTECTIONRELIABILITYCOMMUNICATION NETWORKSPROCUREMENTINSPECTIONBUSINESS OPERATIONSDATA COMMUNICATIONSGLOBAL MARKETELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONPUBLIC UTILITYTIME FRAMESOFTWARECUSTOMER BASEBEST PRACTICESRESULTSMARKET PRICESREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSCOMPETITIVENESSELECTRICITYFINANCIAL OPERATIONGOVERNMENT EMPLOYEESNETWORKSIMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIESPROTOCOLSFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFRANCHISE AREASCUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPEND-USERSEND‐ USERSPRIVATE SECTORINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYNETWORK SYSTEMCONFIDENTIALITYELECTRONIC DATAFRANCHISE AREAIMAGESDIRECT CONNECTIONSEXCHANGE OF INFORMATIONADMINISTRATIONBACKBONERESULTEND‐USERSFAIR COMPETITIONCOMMON CARRIERMANAGEMENT SERVICESSECURITYLICENSESB2BNETWORKBUSINESSBUSINESSESPERFORMANCEINSPECTIONSCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGEDELIVERY SERVICEDISTRIBUTION NETWORKGEOGRAPHICAL AREAPERFORMANCE INDICATORPROFITPROTOCOLDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSCOMMUNICATIONCAPITAL EXPENDITURESDECISION MAKING PROCESSCUSTOMER SEGMENTSCUSTOMER SATISFACTIONMAINTENANCE COSTPERFORMANCE MEASURESEND USERSCUSTOMERSCAPITAL INVESTMENTCUSTOMER SERVICESPROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERSACCOUNTS RECEIVABLESTECHNICAL REQUIREMENTSTARGETPRICESFINANCIAL OPERATIONSUSESQUALITY OF SERVICEPERFORMANCESCONSUMER PROTECTIONCASH FLOWPAYMENT OF TAXESCONSUMER DEMANDSUSERSERVICE PROVIDERSReportWorld Bank10.1596/23617
