Two hundred more high school students of Inawayan National High School will have a better learning environment with their new one-story, two-classroom classroom building.
Together with Aboitiz Foundation and the Department of Education (DepEd), Therma South turned over the new school building to more than 900 excited students and faculty of Inawayan National High School last December 5.
Therma South is currently on its final stages of constructing a 300MW thermal power plant in the boundary of Davao City and Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur.
To be completed early next year, Therma South will be providing a long-term solution to the Mindanao power crisis.
Once fully commissioned, it would become the largest baseload coal-fed power plant in Mindanao.
In fulfillment of the environmental conditions set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Therma South is building a fully-enclosed dome to secure and contain its coal supply.
Bobby Orig, AboitizPower first vice president for Mindanao affairs, said that close to 20 electric cooperatives and distribution utilities across Mindanao will buy power from Therma South.
Half of Mindanao’s power supply comes from the hydropower power plants operated by the state-owned National Power Corp., which have become vulnerable to low water supply during summer months or long dry spells.
Besides Therma South, the Alcantara-led Sarangani Energy Corp. is also constructing a 200-MW coal-fired power plant in Maasim, Sarangani.
