                    [Title] => Napocor mulls higher usage of local coal
                    [Summary] => State-owned National Power Corp. (Napocor) is looking at the possibility of increasing the volume of local coal that is being used to run its coal-fired power plants, a ranking company official said.


Napocor is currently blending 10 percent of local coal every month to generate power from its coal-fired facilities.

"We will eventually increase the volume to more than 10 percent if this test blend will prove feasible," the Napocor official said.

Perez made the assurance after Iloilo residents and environmentalists raised concerns on the possible ill effects of the emissions of the coal-fired power plant in their province.

But Perez said Kepco’s power plant will adopt the latest circulating fluidized bed boiler design and modern technology.
