00:00Yesterday, a binary geothermal power plant was launched in the province of Albay
00:06that brings 100% clean, renewable, and reliable energy.
00:10How will this help in supplying electricity to the country?
00:14This is the surprise of Noel Talacay.
00:18When was the last time there was a burnout or power interruption in San Isidro, Sorsogon,
00:25where Ms. Milagros lives?
00:28It's been a week.
00:31There was nothing going on from morning to evening.
00:33That's why she's only hoping for a candle.
00:37And she's just discarding the heat and the mess that she's feeling.
00:44I'm just waiting for the sun to rise outside.
00:47Energy Development Corporation has launched
00:51their Palayan Binary Geothermal Power Plant in Matino, Albay.
00:56It will provide 28.9 megawatts of power supply to the country.
01:02This will be added to their Bakon Matino facility
01:06that will supply 140 megawatts.
01:10It's not just about energy sustainability,
01:14but 100% clean, renewable, and reliable energy.
01:20Binary technology is not new.
01:22In fact, we already used it in our latex plant in Upper Mahiaw.
01:28Before this Palayan Binary, we haven't mentioned it,
01:35but we have 3.6 megawatts in Mt. Apo that was built two years ago.
01:40According to the Department of Energy or DOE,
01:43this will also greatly help the Luzon grid
01:46This is one of the reasons why power suppliers in the grid
01:51have repeatedly declared the Luzon grid as a color code alert
01:56due to its low supply.
01:59Our coal is forced outage at the same time.
02:04So any capacity that will contribute in the grid,
02:10in any grid, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,
02:13will greatly help us address our power supply situation.
02:20This will also greatly contribute to the National Renewable Energy Program or NREP
02:26of the government, where by 2023,
02:30its target is 35% or equal to 54,000 megawatts of renewable energy in the country.
02:38This will greatly help us.
02:40Earlier, Sir Jerome, Marvin, and Sir Guise said that this is JN24,
02:51so it's like a deodorant.
02:5420% protection but all energy security.
