New coal-fired plant for the Philippines

Palm Concepcion Power’s 270MW is located in the Visayas region.

Palm Concepcion Power Corporation’s coal-fired power plant in Iloilo will supply electricity to the province of Iloilo and the entire Western Visayas region. Built at a cost of some US$332.3 million, the power plant is a joint project of Philippine companies AC Energy, A. Brown Company and Jin Navitas Resources.

The coal-fired power station will use circulating fluidized bed combustion technology. Alstom supplied the plant’s steam turbine and generator.

The target commercial dispatch for the generating station's first unit of 135MW capacity is scheduled for the last quarter of 2015.
