Ilijan plant to run during Malampaya shutdown to assure supply – DOE

THE two units of the Ilijan combined cycle power plant in Batangas will run alternately during the Malampaya shutdown in March to ensure enough power supply during the crucial summer season, the Department of Energy (DOE) said.

Energy Undersecretary Zenaida Monsada said the move will ensure adequate power supply even during the Malampaya gas field’s scheduled shutdown for 30 days.
