THE Department of
Energy (DOE) has cleared eight power projects, including three from a unit of
San Miguel Corp. (SMC), for the conduct of a grid impact study.
A clearance for the
conduct of a grid impact study is necessary for a power firm before it can
proceed with the construction of its power project.
Based on the DOE’s list
as of May this year, Strategic Power Development Corp. (SPDC), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the conglomerate, will be involved in the following power
projects: 100-megawatt (MW) Nabuangan run-of-hydro river in Apayao, 500-MW
Dingalan pumped storage hydroelectric plant in Aurora and 400-MW San Roque
Lower East Pumped Storage in Pangasinan. The other five projects include
Marubeni Corp.’s 70-MW diesel genset facility in Leyte; Solar Philippines
Inc.’s 100-MW Iba-Palauig solar plant in Zambales and anther 100-MW solar plant
in Medellin, Cebu; 27-MW Hayes solar plant of Hayes Solar Energy Corp. in
Misamis Oreintal; and 1.5-MW Tignoan River (Uper Cascade) hydroelectric plant
of REPower Energy Development Corp. in Quezon.
REPower Energy is a
subsidiary of Pure Energy Holdings Corp.
The proposed projects
could generate a total of 1,298.5 MW of installed power capacity, 1,000 MW of
which will come from SPDC.
