ORION, Bataan—-A firm is putting up a P21-billion powerplant using American steam techology in processing garbage to generate electricity.
Mayor Jose “Pepe” Santos led the cornerstone laying joined by Nasir Dharan Jama, of the international bankers along with Jose Utrillo, president and chief executive of the Concord Pacific Investment Holdings Ltd. Inc., a group of contractors, and local and village executives.
Utrillo said the plant will be the first of its kind in the country to produce steam from waste to turn turbines to produce electricity.
“This is an American technology. It will take at least 17 months to complete its construction,” Utrillo said.
In his remarks, he asured Santos that the townsfolk would be the main beneficiaries of the $500-million project in terms of thousands of jobs to be opened and a local supply of power at subsidized cost.
Utrillo said the daily 200 metric tons of waste collected would generate 12.8 megawatt electricity that would meet demand of 50 percent of the Bataan province.
He said the technology answered not only the power needs of households, business and industry but also in helping solve the problem of waste disposal.
“We accepted and approved to host the project since this is environment-friendly, no gas emission, and no air and water pollution,” said Santos, who commended the foreign firms for investing in the town.
Concord Pacific has acquired a 100-hectare property in upland Sitio Pita, Barangay Daang Pare, to be the site of the powerplant complex that will include housing, hospital, and a leisure center. –Butch Gunio, Manila Standard Today
