South Premiere Power Corporation , a subsidiary of SMC Global Power Holdings Corporation of the San Miguel group, will resume operations of the 1,200-megawatt Ilijan gas-fired power plant by April next year, in time for the high demand during the summer months.
The Ilijan plant had been on shutdown since June this year, after it was turned over to SMGP following the lapse of the facility’s build-operate-transfer arrangement with the previous contractor. The conglomerate added “to help address the plant’s current fuel supply constraints, SPPC has offered various options to optimize sourcing of fuel for the Ilijan facility—whether from its own allocation of Malampaya gas or liquid fuel.”
ERC Chairperson Monalisa C. Dimalanta stated “it is not yet clear to us at this point, if SPPC served a notice of PSA termination or merely a suspension of supply considering that the case before the Court of Appeals filed by SPPC involving the said PSA is still for final resolution.”
