AboitizPower geothermal assets ruled compliant

In the Philippines, AP Renewables, Inc. and Hedcor Sibulan, Inc., both wholly owned subsidiaries of AboitizPower Corp., were recently granted Certificates of Compliance (COC) by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). The COCs were granted after APRI’s ten-unit geothermal facilities in Laguna and Batangas and Hedcor’s Hydropower Plant B in Davao del Sur were found to be compliant with the ERC’s required environmental, technical, and financial standards. The latter was also found to be compliant with the technical design and operational criteria of the Philippine Grid and Distribution Code (PGDC). The plants have an aggregate installed capacity of 440 MW.
