Philippines: 4.5 MW power plant to rise in Ifugao town

A 4.5-megawatt hydro power plant will be constructed at sitio Bayucan,
barangay Tunggod in this municipality.

Hydrocore Corporation (HC) and Ifugao officials including the punong
barangays of the five host barangays attended the recent groundbreaking
ceremony to kick-off the start of the project dubbed as the 4.5 MW Ibulao
Hydro Power Project.

HC, a subsidiary of Xidian Holdings Philippines Corp. will be the main
contractor of the project in partnership with other subcontractors to ensure
the speedy and safe construction of the power plant.

Cao Xiaoyang, president/chairman of Sichuan Xidian Electric Power Design Co.
Ltd. (XEPDCL), promised that the 4.5 MW Ibulao Hydro Project will be
finished as early as possible.

He added that all personnel of the project division together with people
from other subcontractors shall strictly adhere to existing laws and
regulations of the Philippines for a quality completion.

XEPDCL General Manager Zhong Yinggui said that the project will proceed in
strict compliance with laws and regulations, standards and codes of both
China and the Philippines for engineering construction, quality and progress
control, safety and environment protection.

"To ensure cultural, timely and quality completion of the project, we have
made deliberate and prudent plans, deployed strong and competent workforce,
arranged high-grade and comprehensive machinery to work for this project,"
Yingui stressed.

The Ibulao Hydro Power Plant targets to start business operations in the
second quarter of 2019 and is expected to contribute to the electric power
supply in Luzon.

Governor Pedro Mayam-o assured to the company the full support of the
provincial government for the development of the province, the host
barangays and the community as a whole.

HC was established in 2006 with the aim to support the community in
addressing economic and utility concerns through Renewable Energy

Philippines Corporation.
