The closest geothermal energy plant in Metro Manila when pursue and finish could be this one, the Maibarara geothermal facility in Laguna. Enthusiasts don’t need to travel very far from the Metro in order to see this geothermal energy project. According to Malaya.com, this Maibarara project is located on the western flank of Mount Makiling, an inactive volcano which is part of the San Pablo volcanic field, also known as the Laguna volcanic field.
Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Co. hold 25% of the project, 65% by PetroGreen Energy Corp. and 10% PNOC-Renewable Energy Corp.
This project is still under exploration stage which includes drilling millions of pesos worth of wells for steam sources that could provide great source of renewable energy power. It may take time before this geothermal plant become operational because drilling for wells will take a lot of time. Drilling wells for very high pressure steam sources is one of the main activities and sometimes the hardest part in developing a successful geothermal plant because electricity produce will depend on the supply of steam coming out from wells.
This can be a very successful project due to its location which is its nearness to Metro Manila.
