This will be built in three areas with existing NIA facilities.

Repower Energy Development Corporation (REDC) signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Irrigation Administration to develop mini-hydropower plants in three areas where NIA has river irrigation system systems.

In a disclosure, REDC said these projects are located in Barangay Dapdap in Tayabas in Quezon province, Barangay Sta. Justina in Iriga City in Camarines Sur, and Barangay Poblacion in Pilar in Bohol.
