It came up on the very first day of Hearings when Pete Ilagan of NASECORE was pursuing this point doggedly in cross-examination of PIPPA President Pantangco. His answer got very confusing. Finally, it was agreed that he would submit a list of members that were presently current with their dues (but some firms or people are considered PIPPA members even if they are not current - i.e. they attend meetings and influence PIPPAs activities).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I never got the list. I tried to furiously write down the names he was verbally reeling off, but I couldn't keep up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Notably, AES/Masinloc is not a member.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But most of the NPC BOTs are, the First Gen group, and some of the PEPOA members.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pantancgo said PIPPA represented 8,800 MW of capacity in Luzon of which 6,200 MW are IPPs of Napocor and 2011 MW are BOOs contracted to Meralco.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At first Pantangco began listing members of the Board, then shifted to listing corporate members.  I'll just list down some that I had scribbled in my notes:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;First Gas (Santa Rita and San Lorenzo)&lt;br&gt;First Gen Hydro (Pan/Masiway)&lt;br&gt;Buaung Power (BOT to NPC)&lt;br&gt;Bacani - Kepco&lt;br&gt;Lopez Dee&lt;br&gt;Louis Miguel Aboitiz (Luzon Hydro, East Asia, SNAP)&lt;br&gt;Freddie Puno (Team Energy and San Roque)&lt;br&gt;Santana (Quezon Power)&lt;br&gt;Ramon Abaya (Minergy)&lt;br&gt;CBK&lt;br&gt;Alstrom Group&lt;br&gt;Trans Asia</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">nicknich3</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:19:26 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Interim Open Access Question</title><link>http://asianenergyadvisors.com/2008/06/27/interim-open-access-question/#comment-1186745</link><description>Hi! Would you know who the members of PIPPA are?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">a</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:48:42 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
