The Energy Department has awarded 15 hydropower projects with a combined capacity of 288 megawatts to local company AQA Global Power Inc.

The hydropower projects are located in Palawan and Lanao del Sur provinces.

Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho Petilla signed the service contracts for the hydro projects in support of the different renewable energy projects in the country.

“The average size of the hydros is around 20 MW with smaller ones in Palawan and big ones in Mindanao. No foreign investor indicated on their application,” Energy director Mario Marasigan said.
