The Regional Share of the ER 1-94 Funds
Embedded Files
Under the ER 1-94 Program, power generation companies (GenCos) and energy developers are required to provide financial benefits to host local government units (LGUs), regions, and indigenous cultural communities or indigenous people. The financial benefit amounts to one centavo per kilowatt-hour (PhP0.1/kWh) of generation companies' electricity sales.
The ER 1-94 Program allocates the financial benefit of PhP0.1/kWh in three components: Electrification Fund (EF; 50%), Development and Livelihood Fund (DLF; 25%), and Reforestation, Watershed Management, Health and/or Environment Enhancement Fund (RWMHEEF; 25%).
The regional share is derived from the 5% of the accrued DLF and RWMHEEF funds from GenCos operating in the region. These funds can be utilized for tangible projects focusing on livelihood and community development, reforestation watershed management and climate change resiliency, health service enhancement, and public service facilities.
The 2024 RDC VIII Call for Proposals aims to find and fund LGU projects that align with the strategies of the Eastern Visayas Regional Development Plan (EV RDP) 2023-2028 and the objectives of the ER 1-94 Program.
The criteria for selecting proposals, as outlined in Joint RDC VIII and RDRRMC VIII Resolution No. 32, s. 2023, include eligibility (30%), expected impact (30%), feasibility and sustainability (20%), and alignment with the EV RDP 2023-2028 and Regional Development Investment Program (20%).

Who are Eligible to Propose?
All host and non-host LGUs at the barangay, municipal, and provincial levels in Eastern Visayas are eligible to propose projects. However, LGUs that do not host power plants will be given special consideration, since host LGUs are receiving direct financial benefits from GenCos operating in their areas.
