W+B Energy helps large companies in the Philippines immediately save millions of pesos per month on their electricity bills. Through proprietary modelling of companies' load profiles and billing statements, W+B can identify savings opportunities in negotiating new supply contracts or analyzing the competitive electricity market. Led by managing director Engr. Remigio De Ungria, who has extensive experience in the deregulated electricity sector, W+B closely monitors industry developments to help companies optimize their energy costs with no upfront investments.

1. WINNING by ELECTRICITY
Is your company a big user of electricity?
Will your company benefit from a proven system that has the potential to
immediately save millions in pesos of electricty per month with zero capex
and no change in operations?
If the answer to both questions are yes, then W+B Energy may help you
immediately, sustainably and reliably save millions of pesos in electricty every month!
Gone are the days when a Filipino company had no choice but to pay what’s in the electric bill
of his geographically designated utility provider (example: only Meralco in Metro Manila, only
VECO in Visayas or only cooperatives in the provinces). In the old “only” monopoly days, the
“only” way a company can save electricity was to reduce consumption (kwhrs) by scaling down
operations or investing in energy saving devices or systems like LED lamps or high efficiency
motors. Even if companies disagreed with the high prices in their electricity bills, they still had to
pay it because they had no other possible supplier of electricity. Pay the bill on time or or suffer
in darkness. Many companies who were burdened with one of the highest electricity costs in
Asia either moved out to other countries or closed down.
In response to this, the Philippine governement passed the 2001 Electric Power Industry
Reform Act (EPIRA) with the objective of encouraging a truly Competitive Retail Electricity
Market (CREM) that translates to lower electricity cost. A key component of the law was to
break the utility monopolies and allow new Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES) to compete in what
is more commonly referred to as Retail Competition Open Access (RCOA). Finally, companies
have the power of choice, the opportunity to save and be cost-competitive. Unfortunately,
many companies have not achieved lower electricity costs due to lack of timely information,
FEAR of the unknown and inadquate systems.
W+B Energy has successfully helped many companies take advantage of the full
implementation of the new competitive RCOA environment. Bottomline, the companies who
have worked with W+B Energy have immediately benefitted from immediate and significant
reductions in their electricty costs with zero capex. How? Only W+B Energy has:
1. A COO-level team with successful track record saving millions in an EPIRA – RCOA
environment for different customers who have existing contracts or are negotiating
supply contracts with RES (retail electricty suppliers).

2. 2. Proprietary simulation modelling systems that provide meaningful and actionable
insights from analyzing the past to project the future. Unknown to many, millions of
pesos in electricity savings have been and can be derived by the strategic analysis of a
company’s historical load profiles, billing statements and cross-referencing it with
company’s future projected operations, WESM and various industry developemnts. The
multiple and accurate scenarios that are generated reduce the uncertainty in the
company’s strategic and tactical energy plans.
3. Hands-on and full-time daily monitoring of energy industry developments including the
DOE, ERC, PEMC, WESM, various RES and related industry players like solar panel
manufacturers, energy saving companies, generating plants & constestable customers.
The Managing Director of W+B Energy, Engr. Remigio Joseph “Bong” De Ungria, ChE, ME,
