SPPC and SEC also signed energy conversion agreements, bulk supplies, and fuel supply novations, all effective July 1.
With that, SEC, SPPC and the Ministry of Finance signed a fuel inventory sale agreement, which stipulates that the ministry shall pay SEC its net book value for the fuel inventory.
