Alsons Consolidated Resources Inc. said Friday unit Sarangani Energy Corp. is on track to complete the first 105-megawatt plant of its 210-MW coal-fired power project in Maasim, Sarangani by the third quarter of 2015.
Alsons said in a disclosure to the stock exchange the basic engineering and construction of the P13-billion Sarangani Energy plant began in June last year. It said the plant was expected to be completed by September 2015.
The company said construction went into high gear, with the official turnover of the site to the plant’s engineering, procurement and construction contractor, Daelim Industrial Co. Ltd. of South Korea, on Feb. 8.
Clearing operations for the plant site were completed in May and Daelim and the Sarangani Energy project team are currently preparing the power block area which will contain the plant’s core components, including the circulating fluidized bed boiler to generate steam from coal and the steam-driven turbine generator that will produce the electricity.
Production of the plant’s state-of-the-art steam generator is under way at the factory of Japan’s Fuji Electric Co. Ltd. in Kawasaki, Japan.
Fuji Electric is a leading manufacturer and designer of turbines and generators of thermal, geothermal, hydroelectric and nuclear power plants.   source
