MINDANAO COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT UPDATES 5 March 2014 The indicative duration for the restoration of the units is estimated from eight (8) to twelve (12) weeks based on the initial findings of the on-going technical evaluation. Both units went offline after sustaining damage to its turbine-generators at the height of the reported Mindanao-wide grid systems disturbance on 27 February 2014. Each unit has a net generating capacity of 105 MW STEAG State Power Inc. (SPI) Plant Manager Dr. Carsten Evers said that the company has intensified its efforts in restoring the units back on line noting the precarious and volatile power supply condition in the island. Dr. Evers assures that SPI is coordinating closely with the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Power Corporation (NPC) and the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in addressing the concern. “Our priority now is to restore the units back on line and ease up the critical power supply condition of Mindanao” Dr. Evers said. “SPI employees are working round-the-clock to restore the power plant back to the grid” he added. SPI’s power plant is currently Mindanao’s biggest in terms of unit capacity, accounting for nearly a fifth of the island’s total electricity supply. via STEAG Power Plant & Philippine Information Agency Misamis Oriental
