Mindanao I & II Geothermal Plant Harnessing Mount Apo's Energy ResourceThe presence of hot springs, geysers, and other thermal phenomena in Mount Apo, Philippines, indicates that it has a geothermal energy reserves that can be recovered and exploited.
Harnessing this resource is the Mindanao I & II Geothermal Power Plants, standing side by side, located at the foot of Mount Apo in Kidapawan City, North Cotabato, with its production field occupying 112 hectares out of the 701 hectares that the Philippine government reserved for geothermal development back in 1991.
The power facilities are being operated jointly by the Energy Development Corporation of the Philippines, and the Marubeni Corporation of Japan which is one of the two groups that financed, designed, and constructed the project under a build-operate and transfer (BOT) agreement.
