‘PNOC buffer zone entry to
minimize power outage’

BY RENE GENOVE

Forty-seven high school scholars from various geothermal sites of the Philippine National Oil Corporation-Energy Development Corporation completed their 10-day annual Energy Camp at Southern Negros Geothermal production Field in Negros Oriental, recently.

Twelve student campers came from EDC’s host community schools in the host province while 10 scholars and eight children of PNOC-EDC employees were from Negros Occidental where the company has both a geothermal field and power plant, and another eight from the North Cotabato geothermal site.

A project of the PBOC-EDC president, Paul Aquino, the energy camp aimed at fostering good values, friendship and instilling important lessons through fun-filled activities where campers hurdled a battery of physical and mental challenges.

Efforts are underway for the re-operation of the Amlan hydroelectric power plant in Negros Oriental with an effective generating  capacity of only .8 megawatts, or 800 kilowatts.

This is in response to the impending power crisis that is expected to worsen by 2010,   Negros Oriental Electric Coopreative II general manager Ephraim Taclob said.

He, however, said the power capacity can be upgraded to 5 megawatts by spending some funds for future additional load requirement.
