Not So Excited About Palayan Binary Geothermal Plant

 

People in town are not so excited about the new plant since we still have terribly low single-phase power that dips to as low as 42.8 volts.

The inauguration of a renewable power source such as the Palayan Binary Geothermal Power Plant inaugurated in our town (Manito, Albay) the other day should be welcomed with great joy.  

But if we look at the ABS-CBN news report's comments section, Maniteños and other Bicolanos are not at all excited because the power generated will of course be sent to the Luzon grid.  

Meanwhile, we continue to live with constant brownouts, high power rates, and in our town of Manito, super low power.  In my almost daily monitoring, power even dips to as low as 42.8 volts at night!

So, I guess all we can say to our energy managers and political leaders is:  more power to you po.
