2.2 Project Rationale

2.2.1 Project Need at the National Level

Strong economic growth and a rise in energy demand have exerted pressure on the Philippines’
energy sector in recent years. The Philippines’ energy usage is increasing because of growth in our
industries and the growing demand from households. Daily activities in large and small businesses,
hospitals, schools, offices, government agencies and households are heavily dependent on
electricity. However, the power supply from existing power plants is not enough to meet the
continually increasing demand. The Philippines demand-supply outlook for 2016-2040 is presented
in Figure 1.

Given the country’s rapidly growing economy, demand for power will outpace supply in the
Philippines in the next years. The proposed Project will help augment the demand for reliable and
affordable baseload power supply. The proposed Project will not only supply enough electricity to
Filipino households and businesses but will also contribute to national development.

Figure 1. Philippines Demand-Supply Outlook, 2016-2040

2.2.2 Shortage of the Luzon Grid in Electric Power Capacity

The DOE Power and Supply-Demand Outlook for 2014-2020 as presented in Figure 2, shows an
increasing power demand in Luzon Grid at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 4-5%. With
this projection, an additional capacity is needed on top of the already committed power projects. In
order to address the gap, the PEI has proposed to install its Project at Barangays Dela Paz Proper
and Ilijan, Batangas City. Upon expected commercial operations in 2024, the proposed Project’s
capacity of 1,700MW and its annual associated energy of 6,307,200 MWh shall be made available
and provided to the Luzon Grid.

Figure 2. DOE Supply-Demand Outlook in Luzon, 2014-2020

2.2.2 Socio-Economic Benefits

With the proposed Project, there will be opportunities for employment, local business growth,
increased government revenues (through local and national taxes and permitting fees), and
development assistance to the host communities. Brisk business opportunities for the local suppliers
around the area will come during the construction and operation phases of the proposed Project.

Increased Internal Revenue Allocation

The taxes collected from the proposed Project, which include property tax, remittance, and corporate
income tax, would be an additional income for Barangays Dela Paz Proper and Ilijan and the City of
Batangas through the increased Internal Revenue Allocation (IRA).

Employment Opportunity

The proposed Project will generate additional jobs as it will require manpower during construction
and operation phases. PEI will require the contractors to prioritize hiring of qualified residents of
Barangays Dela Paz Proper and Ilijan and other barangays in Batangas City during project
implementation. It is expected that the proposed Project will need an estimated number of 150
workers during construction and an estimated number of 100 personnel during commercial operation.
PEI shall closely coordinate with the other employment service offices in hiring local personnel for
the proposed Project.

Corporate Social Responsibility

The host barangays will benefit from the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programs of PEI
which include programs such as the following:

1. Participation in Brigada Eskwela

2. Projects that will be funded by DOE ER 1-94

3
 PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR SCOPING

DOE ER 1-94 Fund

One centavo for every 1 kWh of electricity sold will go directly to the trust funds of the host
beneficiaries such as the LGUs of regional, provincial, city, and barangays and other indigenous
people. The fund will be used for local projects in the following categories and respective budget
shares:

 50% - Electrification Fund (EF) for Distribution Utilities

 25% - Development and Livelihood Fund (DLF)
 25% - Reforestation, Watershed Management, Health and/or Environmental Enhancement
Fund (RWMHEEF)
o The DLF and RWMHEEF shall be allocated in the following manner:
 Host Municipalities or Cities – 35%
 Host Province/s – 30%
 Host Barangay/s – 20%
 Community and People Affected – 5%
 Host ICCs/IPs – 5%
 Host Region – 5%

In the absence of Community and People Affected funds allocated for the same shall form
part of the fund for the host barangays.

In the absence of Indigenous Cultural Communities (ICC) or Indegenous People (IP)

funds allocated for the same shall form part of the fund for the Host Region.

2.3 Project Alternatives

2.3.1 Site Selection

There is no other alternative site considered for the proposed Project other than the 60 hectares
located at Barangays Dela Paz Proper and Ilijan. And also, one of the considerations in the site
selection is the proximity to the existing LNG pipeline of Shell Malampaya.

2.3.2 Technology Selection

The proposed Project will utilize a combined cycle gas turbine technology for the following reasons:
 Higher Efficiency. The higher the exhaust temperature and pressures at the turbine outlet,
the higher is the efficiency.
 Lower Emission Levels. Due to high efficiency it will result to lower fuel consumption rates,
thus there will be lower emission of combustion gases such as such as Carbon Dioxide
(CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Sulfur Oxides (SOx) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and
Particulate Matters (PM).
 The use of LNG as fuel will have an emission that is more of environment-firendly compared
to other fossil fuel-fired thermal power plant.
2.3.3 Resources

1. Water: The water requirement of the proposed Project will be sourced from the area based
on the results of the study that will be conducted by PEI.
2. Seawater: This resource will be used as coolant medium in the condensing system of the
steam turbine. Abundant supply of this resource which will be required in large quantity
during the operation is one criteria that favour the siting of the plant in the area. Seawater
can also be used as alternative source of domestic and process water through desalination
process.
3. Fuel Supply: The first option of LNG supply is still the Shell-Malampaya system. The second
option is LNG will be sourced through import. The presence of the existing LNG-fired power
plant near the area where the Project will be constructed will be an advantage since
economic of scale will play a major role in pricing the LNG.

2.4 Project Components

Table 1 presents the major components, support facilities and pollution control devices for the
proposed Project.

Table 1. Project Major Components and Auxilliaries

Components Specification/Description
Gas Turbines The type of gas turbine that will be utilized in the proposed plant is of high
efficiency class type. A gas turbine is a combustion engine that convert
natural gas or other liquid fuels to mechanical energy. This energy then
drives a generator that produces electrical energy.
Compressors Compressor section of the gas turbine engine has many functions. Its
primary function is to supply air in sufficient quantity to satisfy the
requirements of the combustion burners of the gas turbine. It also provides
cooling air to the blades of the gas turbine. Since gas turbine and
compressor are installed in a single shaft, manufacturer/brand of these
major equipment are the same.
Steam Turbine The system will be used to convert the heat energy of steam from heat
recovery steam generator to mechanical energy. Steam turbine is the prime
mover of the generator.
Generators This is an electrical equipment that converts the mechanical energy of the
gas turbine into electrical energy. Steam turbine and gas turbine have its
own generator.
Transformers This is an electrical device that converts the voltage of an electrical power
from low to high depending on the points of use. In a power plant there are
numbers of transformers that categorized as low voltage, medium voltage,
and high voltage. The main transformers of the power plant converts the
electrical power generated at low voltage from the generator to high voltage
of the transmission lines.
Water Treatment To process raw water either from deepwell or seawater in order to come-up
Plant of domestic water and demineralized water for the usage of the power plant
in its operation.
Heat Recovery This equipment is for the production of steam, which is the prime mover of
Steam Generators the steam turbine. It utilizes the exhaust of the gas turbine in the form of
combustion gases as heating medium.
Condenser and its The system is a must in a steam turbine operation in order to have
cooling system recirculation of the demineralized water and primarily to save on
demineralized water requirement. Steam from the steam turbine is
condensed at the condenser where the cooling medium, in this proposed
power plant, is seawater.
Wastewater The system will be put in placed in order to treat all the identified
Treatment Plant wastewater generation from plant processes to comply with the existing
effluent standards.
