The map below shows Ibabang Polo Barangay in Pagbilao Municipality, the approximate location where the plant would be built. The barangay is already the location of the coal-fired Pagbilao power station, which is currently being expanded.
Background on Plant
In July 2016, San Miguel Corporation (SMC) received initial clearance to study the construction of a 600 MW coal plant in Barangay Ibabang Polo, Pagbilao, Quezon.[1] The 4 x 150MW coal plant would be subcritical and was scheduled to become operational “no later than 2021.”[2]
In September 2018 SMC announced that it still intended to build the plant,[3] but listings by the Department of Energy show no progress on the project since July 2016.[4] In January 2019 the president of SMC wrote to Quezon province's Gov. David Suarez to ask for his help in getting the project approved by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP).[5]
In August 2019 the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) listed the project's target commissioning date as TBD, suggesting that it may be delayed beyond the previous date of 2021.[6]
