DOE formally seeks Meralco’s action on CSP With no new power projects 0 SHARES Share it! “The DOE and Meralco agreed that the latter should expedite the conduct of their CSP to ensure continued power supply in Luzon,” a statement from the Secretary’s office has stipulated. If the DOE cannot expeditiously and efficiently carry out the CSP for the DUs, the Duterte administration will be leaving a legacy of power crisis. Notably, most of the plants just recently completed and under construction are still to the credit of the past administration. Previously, the DOE had aligned the 1,200-megawatt Atimonan and 600-MW coal-fired power projects of Meralco PowerGen as “committed projects,” but hopes of them reaching immediate construction phase had been dashed following the high court’s decision.
