EFFICIENT. RELIABLE. STATE-OF-THE-ART
The San Buenaventura Power Plant is the first supercritical coal plant in the Philippines.
It is a more efficient, state-of-the-art 500-megawatt power facility that stands within an existing plant in Mauban, Quezon. Aside from using supercritical boiler technology which is the system of choice for new commercial coal-fired plants in many countries, the San Buenaventura Power Plant also employs the latest in emissions control technology.
It has its own coal supply and storage capabilities. The coal will move from the coal yard to the boiler via new covered overland conveyors to prevent potential spills of coal and protect the environment. The coal comes from existing suppliers that have proven track record for consistency and quality.
All personnel are safely housed at the site with the expansion of the Quezon Power Village. The new plant has a covered turbine deck to protect personnel from the sun wind, and rain. It also makes the plant easier to maintain.
The plant also includes an electrostatic precipitator for flyash capture and removal, as well as a sea water desulfurizer system to ensure that emissions levels are maintained below international and local standards. A stack with height similar to the original plant also helps ensure that any emissions are dispersed in accordance with local requirements.
With these in place, the plant is one of the most advanced and efficient plants in the country. It provides reliable electricity to the consumers in Luzon at very affordable prices.
The San Buenaventura Power Plant brings forth an efficient, state-of the-art facility developed and managed by proven management teams, all with one goal: To provide reliable and affordable power to Luzon.
The San Buenaventura Power Plant began commercial operations in September 2019.
