The Makiling–Banahaw (Mak–Ban) Geothermal Power Plant is a 458-MW geothermal power station complex in Laguna and Batangas, Philippines.[1]

The facility and the geothermal field are named after Makiling and Banahaw mountains.

History[edit]

The Makiling–Banahaw (Mak–Ban) Geothermal Power Plant was developed to utilize the geothermal resources of the Mak–Ban or Bulalo field. The Chevron Geothermal Philippine Holdings, Inc. under a service contract with the state-owned National Power Corporation (NPC) developed a geothermal station at the field which was commissioned in 1979.[2] The Mak–Ban facility followed the Tiwi facilityinAlbay which first became operational in the same year.[3]

The Philippine government would put the facility for sale to private investors in 2005 through the state-owned Power Sector Assets & Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM). Due to changes in the bidding procedures, the geothermal station would be only sold in 2008.[4] Aboitiz Power through their subsidiary AP Renewables Inc. would take over the plant in 2009.[5]

Facilities[edit]

The Mak-Ban Geothermal Power Plant has a capacity of 458-MW.[1]
