Palinpinon 1 energy plant, Southern Negros, Philippines (supply: EDC)
Power Growth Company is allocating about $434 million to help capability growth of the Southern Negros Geothermal Subject within the Philippines.
Philippine-based geothermal developer and operator Power Growth Company (EDC) has introduced plans to allocate P25 billion (approx. USD 434 million) for the growth of the Southern Negros Geothermal Challenge (SNGP). The funds will help the drilling of recent wells , growth of current pads and development of recent pads, street networks, pipelines, help constructions, and can help improvement of rising applied sciences.
SNGP at present has a complete reliable capability of 221.8 MW throughout its working crops, specifically the Palinpinon Energy Plant Models I and II, the Nasulo Geothermal Energy Plant, and the Nasuji Geothermal Energy Plant. The sector is working at 241.8 steam subject capability with 94 wells in 32 effectively pads.
Referring to this challenge, EDC secured an environmental compliance certificates (ECC) of a 5163-hectare improvement block again in 2017. The ECC was amended in July 2023 to incorporate a provision for a 30-MW battery power storage system. One other ECC is at present being processed to cut back the scale of the event block to solely 4027.59 hectares, which EDC states is sufficient to the drilling of recent wells and development of supporting infrastructure.
Accordingly, the challenge space is proposed to be expanded from 151.5 hectares to 400 hectares to help infrastructure associated to the capability growth.
EDC stays very energetic within the growth of their put in geothermal energy era capability, each within the native and worldwide fronts. The corporate nonetheless has not less than three binary energy crops in improvement, after the inauguration of the 28.9-MW Palayan Bayan binary plant within the Bacon-Manito subject. Only recently, EDC was awarded two geothermal websites for preliminary survey and exploration in Indonesia.
