Nominees undergo a rigid evaluation process that includes validation of documentary requirements and actual site inspection by the regional offices of the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB).
The 112.5-MW Tongonan power plant is operated by Green Core Geothermal, Inc. (GCGI), a subsidiary of EDC.
