Iloilo City—Power producer Global
Business Power (GBP) recently opened its training facility in Iloilo City.
“This is our strategic initiative to help move
the country forward through the creation of a robust pool of highly skilled,
dedicated professionals who can meet and even exceed the demands of the dynamic
energy industry ,” said Jose Maria K. Lim, GBP’s chairman of the board.
The GBP Institute for Energy (GIE)
is the learning hub for all GBP workers from its 11 power generation facilities
in Panay, Mindoro and Cebu.
GEI features the Circulating
Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler simulator, which aids in optimizing operations of
coal-fired power plants. The simulator enables employees to conduct hands-on
study of real-life situations such as emergencies that require critical
decision making while improving operational and maintenance contingencies.
“GIE also helps promote operational
efficiency through better understanding of the clean technology,” added GBP
President Jaime T. Azurin
GEI is located within the same
complex of GBP’s two subsidiaries Panay Energy Development Corp. (PEDC) and Panay
Power Corp. (PPC). PEDC operates the 314-megawatt (314-MW) of coal-fired power
while PPC operates the 72-MW diesel plant.
