Background on Project
In January 2017 SMC Global announced that it planned to build a 58-MW coal-fired plant in Tawi-Tawi province.[1]
On October 27, 2020 the Philippine Department of Energy imposed a moratorium on the construction of new or "greenfield" power plants, meaning those which have yet to begin construction.[2] San Miguel Corporation subsequently announced that its planned greenfield coal plants were cancelled.[3] Shelved Shelved
As of June 2021, there had been no updates since the initial announcement, and the project appears to be cancelled. The Tawi-Tawi power station is not listed in the December 2020 Philippines Department of Energy report on initiated power projects.[4][5]
