PHILIPPINES: Construction plans for proposed 19 Mw hydropower plant, PHILIPPINE NATIONAL OIL CO. (PNOC) [Philippines) - Order #: 107804.: An article from: ... & Plant Operations in the Developing World
Hedcor vice president for business development Gregorio Jabonillo said the two hydropower plants will be developed at Sitio Tudaya in Barangay Sibulan tapping the Baroring and Sibulan Rivers and in the villages of Astorga and Jose Rizal tapping the Sibulan River.
Jabonillo said these two projects were endorsed by this municipality during the recently held 11th regular session of the Sangguniang Bayan.
The proposal was also previously given a "go signal" by its host communities, the village councils of Astorga and Jose Rizal and their respective tribal councils, namely the Municipal Tribal Council and Tribal Councils of Upper Tudaya and Jose Rizal, he said.

Jabonillo said the proposed expansion is in response to the current power situation and the impending power crisis in Mindanao, where both Davao del Sur and Davao City are much affected.
"We thank the host communities for welcoming the project. However, this is just the beginning of a long process of putting up a hydropower plant. Permits from the provincial council and other concerned government agencies are still to be tackled," Jabonillo said.
Aside from additional clean energy generation capacity of the project to its stakeholders, the project promises more social and environmental benefits to its host communities through its corporate social responsibility programs.

"Hedcor Sibulan Plant B is a welcome addition to the supply of electricity in Mindanao," ERC chairperson Zenaida Cruz-Ducut said.
