Geothermal power in the Philippines is the country's second largest source of renewable energy, and the fifth largest source of energy overall. Among sources of renewable energy, it is second only to hydroelectric power, although both sources are surpassed by the amount of energy drawn from coal, oil, and natural gas in that order.
The Tongonan Geothermal Power Station [1] is a 232.5 MW geothermal power plant or an earth steam turbined electric generator—the world's largest geothermal power plant under one roof located in Tongonan, Kananga, Leyte, Philippines. The power plant is one of four operating in the Leyte Geothermal Production Field. [1]
The Philippines utilizes renewable energy sources including hydropower, geothermal and solar energy, wind power and biomass resources. [citation needed] In 2013, these sources contributed 19,903 GWh of electrical energy, representing 26.44 percent of the country's electricity needs. [1]
These two projects form part of the Malampaya Gas-to-Power Project, a program that calls for the supply of natural gas to combined cycle power plants with an aggregate capacity of 3,000 MW. Energy Development Corporation (EDC) is the largest geothermal producer in the Philippines and the second largest in the world. Today, it accounts for more ...
Estimates suggest that superhot rock geothermal could supply electricity at costs between $20 and $46 per megawatt-hour, comparing favorably with natural gas, wind, and solar power, currently at ...
The Makiling–Banahaw (Mak–Ban) Geothermal Power Plant was developed to harness the geothermal resources of the Mak–Ban or Bulalo field. The Chevron Geothermal Philippine Holdings, Inc., under a service contract with the state-owned National Power Corporation (NPC) commissioned the geothermal station field in 1979. [2]
