Back to news articlesManila, Philippines – Prime Infra’s Ahunan Power recently obtained their Certificate of Confirmation of Commerciality from the Department of Energy (DOE), last November 2021.
Ahunan Power’s Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Power Project is a 1400 Megawatt (MW) Pumped Storage Hydro Electric Power Plant (PS-HEPP) that’s being developed for both ancillary service and the energy supply markets. The project aims to take excess energy from the off-peak hours when the demand is low and shift the energy to peak demand. Once operational, it will be able to supply 10 to 12 hours’ worth of 1200MW power for as much as 2 million households. This project can also help reduce the use of coal by about 2.4 million tons a year.
The Confirmation of Commerciality (COC) signals the first step towards the development of the PS-HEPP with a target of having it operational within five (5) years from the issuance of the COC.
This marks our company’s further development and commitment to sustainable and renewable energy.
