Two large power projects are
expected to be completed in Iloilo by the second half of the year, adding 285
megawatts to the Visayas grid.
Latest Energy Department data showed
the first 135-MW unit of Palm Concepcion Power Corp.’s coal project in Barangay
Nipa, Concepcion, Iloilo was scheduled for commercial operations in the second
semester. The company also plans to put up a second 135-MW unit.
Palm Concepcion is a joint venture
between Palm Thermal Consolidated Holdings Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
A. Brown Company Inc. and Jin Navitas Resource Inc.
“The target start of testing and
commissioning is on the last quarter while the commercial operation is on track
by second quarter of 2016,” A. Brown earlier said.
Panay Energy Development Corp., a
unit of Global Business Power Corp. is also set to start commercial operations
of the 150-megawatt coal plant expansion in Barangay Ingore, Lapa, Iloilo City
in August. The company plans to start testing and commissioning in July.
