Background

The Masinloc coal-fired thermal power plant is a 600 megawatt (MW) base-load pulverized coal fired power plant. The plant began operations in 1998. It covers an area of 137 hectares (ha). It is located in the municipality of Masinloc, Province of Zambales, about 250 kilometers (km) northwest of Manila. The Masinloc Expansion Project will add 300MW of capacity to the original 600MW facility, representing an infrastructure investment of up to US$800 million (Courtesy: AES Corp).

Operating Process

The plants will use a subcritical steam generator, a boiler that operates at very high pressure to produce power. This will provide it with much higher fuel efficiency and produce less carbon dioxide compared with other conventional power plants.
