Alsons: Power projects still on track amid lockdown

POWER plant projects in the pipeline are still on track for completion amid the enhanced community quarantine imposed on Luzon, the Alsons Power Group assured in a statement on Wednesday. Alsons is building a 14.5-megawatt (MW) run-of-river hydroelectric power plant at the Siguil River basin in Maasim town, Sarangani province. It is also developing, through San Ramon Power Inc. (SRPI), a 105-MW baseload coal-fired power plant in Zamboanga City. “Even with the current enhanced quarantine, we do not foresee a major delay in the targeted commencement of operations for our Siguil and SRPI projects,” Alsons Executive Vice President Tirso Santillan Jr. said in the statement.
