A 7-megawatts (MW) hydro power facility will be built by Langogan Power Corporation (LPC) on the BatangBatang River, Narra town in the province of Palawan.
The company said in a statement that they've signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with local government unit (LGU) represented by Mayor and Palawan League of Municipalities head Lucy Demaala. The company was represented by executive Mike Wootton.
LPC, with its Norwegian partners, are investing more than P2 billion on all of its projects in the province. The power company will benefit from the full support of all Palawan municipalities, according to Demaala.
Starting 2016, the Narra hydropower is expected to provide a yearly clean energy output of about 32 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which in effect, could reduce 25,693 tons of annual fossil fuel emissions.
Palawan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and the Palawan Alliance for Clean Energy are both endorsing the Narra power project.
