Repairs completed for Mindanao hydro plant

The rehabilitation of Pulangui unit 4 in Bukidnon has been completed nine days ahead of the May 17 schedule.

“Our plant personnel at Pulangui 4 worked 24/7 with our private contractor to bring the power plant back on line at the earliest possible time,” said National Power Corp. President Froilan A. Tampinco.

It was shut down earlier this week to allow for repair and maintenance works.

Pulangui, along with the 700-MW Agus power plant, provides over half of Mindanao’s power requirement.

Pulangui 4 is now capable of producing 150 megawatts, and may increase to 250 MW during the peak hours.

The shut down of the power plant had created a supply gap of around 120 MW in Mindanao which was already struggling with the lack of electricity and had already been experiencing rotating brownouts in some areas.

Repairs to Pulangui 4 worth P7.11 million had included fixing the channel where the water for the plant rushes through to the turbine.
