Japanese company JGC Holdings Corporation has been awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract from the Philippines’ Energy Development Corporation (EDC) for a geothermal power generation project planned in Mahanagdong District, Ormoc City, Leyte, Philippines.

JGC Philippines will provide EPC services to EDC, which include construction and commissioning works of the power plant. The ORC technology will be designed and supplied by Exergy International Srl (Exergy) which has a supply portfolio of over 500MWe in capacity.

The Philippines has the third largest installed geothermal capacity in the world after the US and Indonesia. Geothermal power generation is currently being actively developed in the Philippines as it is a stable, climate-independent source of energy
