P2.3 bilyong waste-to-energy project ng Iloilo City, sisimulan ngayong taon
Sinelyuhan ni Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas ang landmark joint ventures agreement kay Andrew Pangilinan, President and CEO ng Metropacific Water Investment Corp. at Jose Maria Madara, President and CEO MetPower Venture Partners Holding Corp. para sa pagtatayo ng Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility (ISWMF).

MANILA, Philippines — Magsisimula ngayong taon ang pagpapatayo ng kauna-unahang waste-to-energy project sa bansa sa Lungsod ng Iloilo.

Ang proyekto, na may P2.3-billion na kabuuang halaga, ay isasagawa ng Iloilo City Government kasama ang Metro Pacific Water (MPW), ang wholly-owned subsidiary ng Metro Pacific Water Investments Corporation (MPWIC), sa pamamagitan ng public-private partnership (PPP) scheme.

Kamakailan lang, pina­ngu­nahan nina Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas at MPWIC President and CEO Andrew Pangilinan ang cere­monial contract exchange ceremony para sa pagpapatayo ng state-of-the-art Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility (ISWMF).

“This outcome marks a historic milestone for us — building one of the country’s most technologically advanced waste recovery facilities only here in Iloilo City,” pahayag ni Treñas.

Ang contract exchange ceremony ay dinaluhan din ng mga opisyal ng lungsod at nina Metro Pacific Iloilo Water (MPIW) Chief Opera­ting Officer Rob Cabiles, at MetPower Venture Partners Holdings, Inc. (MVPHI) President and CEO Jose Maria Madara.

“We are very grateful to the Iloilo City Government for its support of this project. We applaud Mayor Treñas for his leadership and commitment to bettering the lives of Ilonggos,” sabi ni Pangilinan.

Ang MVPHI, isa pang wholly-owned subsidiary ng MPIC, ang mangu­nguna sa implementasyon ng proyekto.

Ang proyekto na ipapatayo sa Barangay Ingore, La Paz ay may kapasidad na mag-proseso ng 475 tone­lada ng basura kada araw.

Ang pasilidad ay ina­asahang makalikha ng hanggang 3.5 megawatts ng kuryente bilang dagdag na suporta sa 10 megawatts para sa desalination plant. Ang desalination plant naman ay makapag­dadala ng karagdagang water supply na maaring ipagbili sa mas mababang presyo sa mga residente ng lungsod.
