Emerging Power Inc (EPI) has successfully completed drilling in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, with its initial wells showing a reservoir that can generate up to 40 megawatts of geothermal power, a top company official said on Thursday.

EPI Chairman Antonio Zamora said one of the wells was 1,200 meters deep but the other one went deeper at 1,250 meters and the measured temperature of the wells was 181 centigrade, which is “more than the 170 centigrade we originally estimated.”
