Among the power facilities to be auctioned off in two months’ time are those in  Sucat, Limay, Navotas, Pinamucan, two mini-hydro plants in Mindanao and 1 small diesel plant in Bohol.

                    [Summary] => The Department of Energy (DOE) is looking at the possi-bility of relocating some National Power Corp. (Napocor) gas turbines and diesel plants from Luzon to Panay Island to solve the impending power shortage in the area within the year.


These plants include the 30 megawatt (MW) Sucat gas turbine (GT), 120 MW (4x30 MW) Limay GT, 90 MW (3x30 MW) Malaya GT and 110-MW Pina-mucan Diesel Power Plant.


Three of these power plants – Sucat, Limay and Malaya – were earlier eyed by DOE for conversion into natural gas-fired power facilities.

Energy Undersecretary Jose Emmanuel De Dios said Sucat is being eyed as one of the potential anchor loads to justify the building of gas pipelines from Batangas to Manila.


But De Dios said based on the DOE’s forecast, Sucat may come on stream by 2008, in time to meet additional demand in the Luzon grid.
