STA. CRUZ, Davao del Sur- The construction of two hydropower plants which intends to provide an additional power capacity of 13.7 megawatts to the 42.5MW Hedcor Sibulan Hydropower Plant in this part of Southern Mindanao will start soon. | |||
The Hedcor Tudaya Hydroelectric Power Plant 1 and 2 will be put up in the upstream of Sibulan Hydro Plant A and downstream of Sibulan Hydro Plant B located at Barangay Sibulan in the municipality of Sta. Cruz. | |||
The plants will generate 76 GWh of renewable energy annually for Davao del Sur Electric Cooperative (DASURECO) and Davao Light and Power Company in Davao City starting in the first quarter of 2014. | |||
“Our team is processing to finalize all the necessary requirements and other documents,” said Engr. Bill Haboc, Hedcor assistant vice-president for Engineering and Development in Mindanao. | |||
Haboc said the company is set to construct the structures pending the RE contracts which the Department of Energy is currently processing. | |||
“Our engineers are now polishing the design,” he added. | |||
The pre-construction development of the projects was made easier for Hedcor's exploration team because the potential sites of the two plants, especially that Tudaya 1 became accessible after Hedcor opened and rehabilitated 49 kilometers of farm-to-market roads and access road for the Sibulan plants. | |||
The exploration of the additional hydro power plants started in 2010 and the project design began last year. | |||
The Tudaya Hydroelectric Power is an expansion of the run-of-river Hedcor Sibulan Hydropower Plant which started operations in 2010. | |||
Hedcor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AboitizPower Corporation, is the largest developer of run-of-river hydropower plants in the country with 19 hydropower plants in Benguet, Ilocos Sur, and Davao. | |||
The company plans of building more plants in Mindanao, aside from Tudaya 1 and 2 in Davao del Sur, another one in Davao City and two in Bukidnon. | |||
