Background on Project
In January 2017 SMC Global announced that it planned to build a 58-MW coal-fired plant in Basilan province.[1]
As of May 2021 there has been no further news about the project and it appears to be cancelled. The project is not listed in the December 2020 Philippines Department of Energy report on initiated power plants in Mindanao.[2][3]
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.[4] San Miguel Corporation subsequently announced that its planned greenfield coal plants were cancelled.[5] In November 2020 DOE Secretary Alfonso Cusi clarified that projects listed as "indicative" by the DOE would still be considered and might still be developed.[6]
