THE BICOL POWER SITUATION
by Reynaldo T. Jamoralin, Sentro Sorsogon, June 2003

Total Power Generation Capacity of the Bicol Region (Actual, as of the late 1990s, from geothermal, hydroelectric, mini-hydro, and diesel-powered plants, and oil-based generating sets.)


- from Tiwi Geothermal Plant (Albay) 330MW
- from Bacon-Manito Geothermal Plants (Sorsogon) 160MW
- from Barit Hydroelectric Plant (Camarines Sur) 1.8 MW
- from Cawayan Minnihydro Plant (Sorsogon) .4 MW
- from five .50 MW diesel-powered MAN generators (Masbate) 25MW
- from two .50 MW White Superior Generating Sets (Masbate)1.0 MW
- from one .25 MW DALE generating set (Masbate).25 MW
- from two .15 MW generating sets (Ticao).3 MW
- from two .50 MW DALE generating set (Ticao).50MW
- from two .90 MW minihydro plants (Catanduanes)1.8MW
- from two .50 MW oil-based sets (Catanduanes1.0MW
- from one 1.0 MW oil-based set (Catanduanes)1.0 MW
- from three .15 MW DALE sets (Rapu-Rapu).45 MW

TOTAL 523.50 MW


(NOTE: Due to the decline of steam supply and the deteriorating condition of the Tiwi Geothermal Plant, its present actual generating capacity is now only about 200 to 250 MW. But this decreased Tiwi Geothermal power generation has been compensated by the commissioning of new, additional oil-based generating sets and minihydro plants in the iland province of Masbate and the island municipalities of in Albay. Total Energy Consumption of the Bicol Region (highest registered demand, as of late 1990s) LESS THAN 100 MW!


MUYA SABIHON KAINI, AN SOBRANG ENERHIYA/ELEKTRISIDAD NA NA-POPRODUCIR KAN MGA PLANTA/GENERATORS SA REHIYON BIKOL, DAI MAGBABA SA 400MW!


Total na Enerhiya/Elektrisidad hale sa Bikol 523.50 MW


LESS: Total na Lokal na Konsumo 100 MW


SOBRANG ENERHIYA/ELEKTRISIDAD 423.50 MW


NOTE: NANGANGAHULUGAN SANA INI NA AN REHIYON BIKOL MAYOR NA TAGA- PRODUCIR NIN ENERHIYA SA LUZON. AN SOBRANG ENERHIYA/ELEKTRISIDAD NA DAI MAN NAGAGAMIT SA LAOG SANA KAN BIKOL IYO AN PINAPADALAGAN SA MGA LINYADA KAN NATIONAL POWER CORPORATION (NAPOCOR) NA INAAPOD NA LUZON GRID, NA IYO AN NAGSESERBISYO SA MGA PANGANGAIPONG PANG-ENERHIYA KAN BILOG NA LUZON.


AN HAPOT NGONIAN KAN MGA BIKOLANO:


NATA SA REHIYON BIKOL AN IGUA NIN PINAKAHALANGKAW NA TARIPA SA KURYENTE/ELEKTRISIDAD KUMPARA SA IBANG MGA REHIYOIN SA LUZON, APESAR NA DAKULAON KAINI AN PRODUKSYON NIN ENERHIYA/ELEKTRISIDAD NA DAI MAN NAGAGAMIT SA LAOG KAN REHIYON???


- HALE SA PADAGOS NA PAG-AADAL/PAGSASALIGSIG(RESEARCH STUDY) NA PIGGIGIBO KAN INSTITUTE FOR BIKOL STUDIES (IBS) NA IGUANG TITULONG,"THE BIKOL POWER SITUATION AND BIKOLANO POWER POLITICS".
