Phillipines:

EDC to Relocate Equipment in Northern Negros to Leyte (BusinessWorld - Manila)

Phillipines geothermal firm Energy Development Corp. (EDC) will transfer equipment from its shuttered Northern Negros steam facility to Leyte, an official said yesterday.

“The [facilities] of the Northern Negros plant will be relocated to our Palinpinon power plant in Leyte,” said EDC Vice-President Ernesto B. Pantangco during the 2nd Philippine Renewable Energy Summit.

The company, however, could not disclose a timetable or cost.

The 49-megawatt (MW) Northern Negros power plant was shut down in June due to dwindling steam resources.
