Energy Development Corp. (EDC) is looking at expanding its geothermal power operations in Mindanao with an additional capacity of up to 120 megawatts (MW), a top official said.
Jerome Cainglet, EDC president and chief operating officer, said the company has an ongoing exploration program in Amacan in the Davao Region.
Cainglet said they were also expecting to get an initial 70 MW from the site. If the exploration proves the area has a "good resource," the capacity can go up to 120 MW, Cainglet noted.
"Hopefully, by next year, we will be able to say we can develop a facility in Amacan," Cainglet told reporters.
