Palayan Binary Geothermal Power Plant, binuksan na

Transcript

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.
