| CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, March 2 (PIA) -- President Benigno S. Aquino III will inaugurate the 2.1 megawatt Linao Cawayan Mini Hydro power plant today at around 10:00 a.m.
| | It becomes Oriental Mindoro’s first and largest commercial establishment to rise within the project Xevera Neo Calapan, in Calapan City. |
|
| | |
| Although the powerplant is located within the Linao Cawayan River in the municipality of San Teodoro, the inauguration will be held in the compound of Oriental Mindoro Electric Cooperative (ORMECO) in Sta. Isabel, Calapan city. The president will lead the Ceremonial Switch-On of the 45 Sitios under the Sitio Electrification Program.
| | It brings to Oriental Mindoro the Robinsons brand of shopping, with its seal of quality, efficiency and convenience. Though there are other places of shopping and recreation around the province, Neo Calapan Mall is a notch higher as it will house Robinsons’ signature stores, namely Robinsons Supermarket, Department Store, Appliance Center and Handyman Do-it Best Home Center. |
|
| | |
| According to Romeo Cuasay, ORMECO general manager, the project is a run-of-the-river hydro incorporating a gross head of 81.57 meters and a rated flow of 4.10 cubic meters per second at 35 percent at a time. The power capacity is 2,100 kilowatts.
| | Aside from these, spa and wellness centers, games and amusement arcade, and two 150-seater cinemas, among others, will also operate inside the mall, offering entertainment and recreation. These establishments are expected to turn shopping and relaxation into a first-class experience in the province, providing Mindoreños a taste of the urban lifestyle. |
|
| |
| The plant is now fully operational, serving directly the consumers from the site through the town of Baco leading to substation transformer in Calapan City to synchronize the electricity available to the system.
| |
|
| |
| Meanwhile, the president will also be presented a copy of the book “ The ORMECO Odyssey,” by ORMECO’s first president Atty. Zosimo Mendoza. It describes the journey of the electric cooperative from its organization 39 years ago. It also shows the efforts to tap the renewable energy to meet the growing demand of power.
| |
|
| |
| Also expected to attend the ceremony are Energy Secretary Rene Almendras, Governor Alfonso Umali, Jr. and other local officials. (LTC/BSD/PIA4B/CALAPAN)
