The Government of the Philippines has commissioned the 22 MW Tanawon geothermal power plant in Sorsogon City, developed by the Energy Development Corporation (EDC), a subsidiary of First Gen Corporation.
The PHP7 billion facility was completed in 27 months and is part of the government’s broader push to expand renewable energy capacity and enhance energy security under the Philippine Energy Plan. The plant is expected to generate 159,000 MWh of electricity annually. It is the second of seven geothermal projects planned by EDC, following the inauguration of the 29MW Palayan Binary Plant in July 2024.
