The power firm partnered with the indigenous people to establish a carbon sink management program in Marilog, Davao City.
Aboitiz said the company infused a total of P35 billion for the completion of TSI’s two units, and employed over 4,500 coming from its host communities at its peak.
The 150-MW of TSI 1 started commercial operation last September 2015 while the 150-MW TSI 2 is currently undergoing “reliability test” before it will go on commercial operation next month.
A total of 100 MW has been contracted to Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC), another fully-owned subsidiary of Aboitiz Power, while the rest will be delivered to over 20 electric cooperatives and distribution utilities in Caraga, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, parts of Bukidnon, parts of Misamis and parts of Zamboanga Peninsula, Aboitiz said.
