Energy Regulations No. 1-94 (ER 1-94) program stipulates that communities hosting the power generating facilities are entitled to financial benefits of one-centavo per kilowatt-hour (P0. 01/kWh), from the electricity sales of the Generating Companies (GenCos). The policy guidelines are governed by the Department of Energy Act of 1992, as well as the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (EPIRA).
It was implemented to ensure that host communities receive a fair part of the profits generated by power plants operating in their vicinity. The funds can be used by host beneficiaries to electrify areas or homes that do not have access to electricity, as well as for livelihood programs. This covers programs such as reforestation, watershed management, health, and environmental betterment.
