Power group Alsons Consolidated
Resources, Inc. (ACR) begun the process of selection for the engineering,
procurement, and construction (EPC) contract of its next 105-megawatt San Ramon
coal-fired power project in Zamboanga City.
Tomas I. Alcantara, ACR chairman and
president said there are already offers from Chinese and South Korean
prospective turnkey contractors.
Alcantara also said those involved
in the EPC of their 210MW Sarangani coal-fired power project – Japanese firm
JGC Corp. and Korean firm Daelim Industrial Co. Ltd. – also indicate interests.
“There are several EPC contractors that manifested interests here…there is a
Chinese and another Korean, but we are not prepared to disclose,” Alcantara
told reporters.
The project, he said, still
straddles that phase of cornering the bilateral contracts on the off-take of
its eventual generated capacity. “We are just working on the principal
cooperative that would be the principal off-taker for the plant,” Alcantara
said.
He further qualified that the
company has also been “perfecting the PSAs (power supply agreements) that we
have,” with the corresponding rates approval by the Energy Regulatory
Commission.
