GNPower Dinginin Ltd. Co. (GNPD), the largest coal-fired power plant in the Philippines in terms of capacity, broke its record of 79 continuous days of operations after its Unit 2 logged 100 days as of July 7, 2023.
GNPD, which is based in Mariveles, Bataan, said that since the unit’s last synch date on March 31, 2023, it has recorded 100 days or about three and a half months of continuous running operations, and 85-unit days without derations and steam cooler repairs.
The power plant supplies 1,668 MW to the Luzon grid, with around 30 distribution utility and two retail electricity suppliers’ secured contracts.
Unit 1 of the project has been generating power since March 2021 and went on commercial operation on December 2, 2021.
Unit 2 successfully synchronized to the grid on April 23, 2022, and a month later started to operate at its full-load capacity.
“GNPD promotes stability and reliability in the energy sector by overseeing the long-term continuous running operations and ensuring that energy demands in the grid are successfully met,” the power firm said.
