The Palinpinon Geothermal Power Plant is a 192.5-MW complex of geothermal power stations in Valencia, Negros Oriental, Philippines
The first power station was commissioned in 1983,[1] amidst a global oil crisis which began in 1973.[2] It was operated by the state-owned Philippine National Oil Company-Energy Development Corporation (PNOC-EDC).[3]
The Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM) would privatize the geothermal facility and place the facility under bidding.[3]
Former PNOC affiliate, Energy Development Corporation (EDC) which became fully privatized in 2007,[2] took over the operations of the Palinpinon facility in October 2009.[4]
The Palinpinon Geothermal Power Plant consists of two stations Palinpinon I and Palinpinon II which are located 5km (03miles) apart.[1] Both sources steam from the Southern Negros Geothermal Production Field (SNGPF).[5]
