Background
In February 2024, it was reported that Quezon Power Philippines Ltd Co (QPPL) was planning to build a new 1200 MW liquefied natural gas (LNG) power plant facility, which would include an onshore regasification and storage facility. The total cost of the project is estimated to be PHP$71 billion (US$1.2 billion). The project will be situated close to QPPL's existing Quezon power station. Construction would require 1500 workers and 39 months to complete.[3]
Opposition
The project has been opposed by environmental organizations in the Philippines including Quezon for Environment (QUEEN) and Center for Energy, Ecology, and Development (CEED). Warren Puno, lead convenor of QUEEN, said in February 2024, "There is abundant evidence in the Philippines and across the world of the negative impacts of fossil fuels, including LNG, on the health of people and ecological systems," after the organization was not invited as legitimate stakeholders to a public scoping meeting. Gerry Arances, executive director of CEED, said, "The people of Quezon have a right to clean air, a clean environment, and clean energy—all of which LNG is not capable of providing. QPPL and DENR-EMB threaten local stakeholders by failing to inform them of the risks they face."[4]
