Background

In 2009 Korean Electric Power Corp. said it plans to convert the Panay Diesel Power Plant (PDPP) in Dingle, Iloilo into a coal-fired power plant.

KEPCO is part owner of SPC Power Corp., the mother unit of SPC Island Power Corp. which bought PDPP and the Bohol diesel fired power plant in 2008 for US$5 million.

A coal plant was first proposed by KEPCO for the area in 2000: KEPCO first proposed to put up a 100-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Tibiao, Antique, but then moved to Iloilo, reportedly due to poor soil stability in Tibiao. KEPCO planned to locate the project in the town of Ajuy and later to Banate but ultimately built the coal plant in Cebu due to stiff opposition from environmental groups and the Catholic Church.

As of 2012 the plant is still listed as diesel with a capacity of 66 MW by the Philippines DOE. Since there has been no further development of this project since 2009, it can be concluded that the project has been abandoned.
