THE Department of Energy (DoE) assured consumers there will be sufficient power supply in the coming summer months as big power plants will come online to meet the expected increase in demand, an energy official said. The DoE expects big power plants to come online and contribute to the grid in April and May. ”The big ones that are coming in are in April and May, the Limay-Bataan power plants from the San Miguel group,” Fuenteblla said. The DOE has also been instructed to look into the scheduled maintenance of power plants during that period, he said. And there’s one more plant, Ilijan,” he said, referring to the Ilijan combined-cycle power plant, a dual-fuel power station in Ilijan, Batangas City.
