A 750-kilowatt diesel will be constructed in Busuanga, while an 8-megawatt bunker-fired power plant will be put up in Coron. The said facilities will supply power to the two towns.
“Both [facilities] will provide the full service and ancillary power requirements of Busuanga Island Electric Cooperative Inc. [Biselco] under a bilateral power-supply contract for the next 15 years from the plants’ commercial operation,” Vivant said.Biselco distributes electricity in the island-group that includes the municipalities of Coron, Busuanga, Culion and Linapacan in northern Palawan.
The commercial operation of both power plants is targeted in 2014.
