POWER gerenation from Bohol’s hydro-power plants have reportedly decreased due to insufficient water levels that can sustainably spin the turbines.
According the Bohol Electric Cooperative I General manager Carlos Itable, all of Bohol’s hydro electric power supplies decreased its generation due to low water supply.
He said that even the Ewon Sevilla hydro, now operated by Sta. Clara Development has to contend with 580 mega watt power generation output.
Ewon hydro facility is capable to generating 1.2 MegaWatts of power.
Hanopol’s maximum power of 2.5MW is now running at 1.8 MW.
Over this, the PDCC would explore the possibility of asking Salcon Power Utilities to allow the operation of the two standby diesel power plants to supplement the needed power for Bohol. (PIA Bohol)
