Hedcor has started development of access roads to its Tudaya hydroelectric power project. When complete, these will also serve as farm-to-market roads for the community. Work is ongoing for temporary and permanent roads as the construction of the 13.6-MW project progresses.
Project Manager Rodolfo Laguna said that the access roads are in addition to the 48 kms already developed for Hedcor’s Sibulan hydros.
“We, the farmers, are grateful for Hedcor’s assistance… they give us the means to work hard and deliver our produce directly to the market,” tribal leader Datu Rudy Agtag said in behalf of his colleagues.
The company is taking advantage of the good weather to fast track the completion of the construction. Two plants are simultaneously being constructed. These are the Tudaya 1 and Tudaya 2 hydropower plants. According to Laguna, the construction period for both plants is expected to take around 18 to 20 months.
Aside from new roads, host communities also gain from the Hedcor’s CSR projects. The company conducts regular medical missions, assists children to go to school, and executes water management initiatives like tree planting, river clean ups and other river bank preservation activities.
