New Philippine Developments

摘要

Aragorn Power and Energy Corporation, a subsidiary or APC Group Inc., has filed applications with the Philippine DOE for two geothermal areas in the cordillera of northern Luzon. One is a 27,500 hectare area in Acupan, Benguet, and the other a 26,250 hectare area in Batong Buhay Kalinga. (One hectare equals 10,000 square meters.) The company estimates power-generation potential for the areas at 20 MWe and 120-200 MWe, respectively. Presently, Free and Prior Informed Consent for the projects is being secured from local, indigenous peoples.
