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]
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 three geothermal power plants in the Tiwi region produce 330 MWe, putting the Philippines behind the United States and Mexico in geothermal growth. [62] The Philippines has 7 geothermal fields and continues to exploit geothermal energy by creating the Philippine Energy Plan 2012–2030 that aims to produce 70% of the country's energy by 2030.
Enhanced geothermal systems tend to be on the high side of these ranges, with capital costs above $4 million per MW and levelized costs above $0.054 per kW·h in 2007. [ 51 ] Research suggests in-reservoir storage could increase the economic viability of enhanced geothermal systems in energy systems with a large share of variable renewable ...
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]
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]
The Bac-Man Geothermal Production Field, also known as the BacMan Geothermal Power Plant, is one of the geothermal power stations operated by Energy Development Corporation in the provinces of Albay and Sorsogon in the Philippines. It is named for its location in the municipalities of Bacon (a district since merged with Sorsogon City) and Manito.
Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear fuel, natural gas, oil shale and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat, tides and wind. Only the most significant fuel source is listed for power stations that run on multiple sources.
