ERC Certificate of Public Convenience Application for Power Generation

The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) Certificate of Public Convenience Application for Power Generation is designed for energy companies, power generation developers, and utilities seeking regulatory approval to establish and operate power generation facilities in the Philippines.

This comprehensive template streamlines the complex application process for obtaining a Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) from the ERC, which is required before any entity can engage in the generation of electric power in the Philippines under Republic Act 9136 (Electric Power Industry Reform Act).

Built specifically for the Philippine regulatory environment, this form captures all critical information including company registration details (SEC, DTI, BIR TIN), technical specifications of the proposed power plant, environmental compliance documentation, fuel supply agreements, financial capacity statements, and project feasibility data. The structured format ensures that applicants provide all necessary information required by the ERC, reducing the likelihood of application delays or rejections.

Paperform makes this traditionally paper-heavy process digital, secure, and efficient. The form's conditional logic adapts based on your generation type (coal, natural gas, renewable energy, etc.), showing only relevant fields and requirements. Upload capacity allows you to attach supporting documents like Environmental Compliance Certificates (ECC), fuel supply agreements, technical studies, and financial statements directly within the application.

For law firms, regulatory consultants, and energy companies managing multiple applications, Stepper can automate follow-up workflows—triggering reminders for document updates, routing internal reviews between technical and legal teams, and keeping stakeholders informed throughout the lengthy approval process. Once approved, Papersign can handle the execution of related agreements and compliance certifications with secure eSignatures.

Whether you're a renewable energy developer, traditional power generation company, or legal consultant supporting energy sector clients, this template provides a professional, compliant starting point for your ERC application needs.
