Renewable energy developer Sunwest Water and Electric Co. is on track to begin commercial operations of its P80-million, 600-kilowatt mini-hydropower in Sorsogon province by August, an official said over the weekend.
“We are commissioning the project starting next week. We’re on track with our target. So that will be completed in August. First week of August, the project will be in commercial operations already,” Suweco president Jose Silvestre Natividad told reporters.
The 600-KW Cawayan upper mini-hydropower project is located in Barangay Guinlajon, Sorsogon City. The project is expected to generate 2.786 gigawatt per hour  annually and is seen to be a significant contribution to the peak demand of 12.406 megawatts of Sorsogon.
“We develop projects regardless of size as we believe that in unison these small projects will provide a big contribution to our communities through all the direct and indirect benefits brought about by our projects to our host communities, thus we provide window for a better way of life and better future where communities coexists with a vibrant ecosystem,”  Natividad said earlier.   source
