South Negros BioPower is a biomass-fired power station in La Carlota, Negros Occidental in the Philippines. When commissioned in the 4th quarter 2017 it will be among the biggest biomass power stations in the Phillippines and will have a generating capacity of 24.99 megawatts, enough electricity to provide 265,000 people[1] in the region’s urban centres and rural areas on the island of Negros. The power plant is a cooperation between ThomasLloyd CTI Asia Holdings Pte and Bronzeoak Philippines. General Contractor is Wuxi Huaguang Electric Power Engineering.
The plant will be primary feed with cane trash with some grassy and woody energy crop plants. The feedstock utilisation[2] will be 220,000 tonnes per year with a local feedstock availability of 1.4 million tonnes per year within a 50 km-radius catchment area. The plant will be connected to an existing 69 kV substation in San Enrique, 8 km away when operational. The power plant is expected to create 675 new jobs in the plant and 2,500 jobs in feedstock production and collection.[3]
The plant has been chosen by the phillippine government as an "Awarded Biomass Project" in January 2015.[4]
