Quezon Power (Philippines), Limited Co.
A. QUEZON POWER (PHILIPPINES), LIMITED CO.

Quezon Power (Philippines), Limited Co. is the owner/operator of a power plant based in Mauban, Quezon. It is the first Build-Own-Operate power project in the Philippines and the first power project in the country undertaken without a sovereign guarantee.

Through its Mauban-based power facility, Quezon Power contributes to nation-building by providing stable, reliable, and competitively-priced electricity to the Luzon grid.

By enforcing strict environmental controls in its operations and delivering vital social services covering the areas of health, environment, education, livelihood, and infrastructure development, Quezon Power remains true to its commitment to environmental and community stewardship.

B. SAN BUENAVENTURA POWER LTD. CO.

In response to the increased demand for additional power in Luzon, the San Buenaventura Power Ltd. Co. (SBPL) constructed a 500-megawatt power plant in Mauban, Quezon.

SBPL is a partnership between the Meralco PowerGen Corporation (MGen), the power generation arm of the Manila Electric Company (Meralco), which owns a 51% stake; and New Growth BV, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Electricity Generating Public Company Limited (EGCO Group) of Thailand, which owns the remaining 49% stake in the business.

The power facility is the first coal plant in the Philippines to utilize the state-of-the-art supercritical technology that has been proven to increase operational efficiencies and significantly reduce emissions.

The project’s P42.15-billion funding is regarded as the biggest all peso project finance transaction in the Philippines to date and has been distinguished as the Asia Pacific Power Deal of the Year by the Project Finance International in 2016.
