Hedcor Inc., a unit of Aboitiz Power Corp., is pursuing the construction of the 12-megawatt Tamugan hydropower project in Davao City next year, after a delay of several years.
“We hope to start construction within mid next year and then that will be take two years to build,” Hedcor president Rene Ronquillo said.
Ronquillo said Hedcor was in talks with the Davao City Council on the project, which has been downscaled from 32 MW due to issues raised by the Davao City Water District related to water supply.
Davao Water, which supplies water to 150,000 customers in Davao, earlier said project would threaten the city’s limited supply. It claimed that the Tamugan River was the only viable source of water for Davao City. The Tamugan power project will utilize the natural waterflow of the Panigan and Tamugan Rivers. source
