Feasibility Study of Hydropower Development in SPUG/Missionary Areas, 2016 – 2017
“Tapping the Hydropower Potential of River Basins”
The Project was commissioned by the National Power Corporation-Small Power Utilities Group (NPC-SPUG) with financing under the Project Development and other Related Studies (PDRS) fund being administered by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) as contracting agency. The Project sought to lay the groundwork for the implementation of potential hydropower projects in the NPC-SPUG areas that are not connected to the main power grid (missionary areas) and ensure energy security in these areas by enhancing the commercial viability of SPUG operations, and reduce dependence from oil-based power generations.
CEST, Inc. as associate firm carried-out hydropower potential assessment which involved site selection, preparation of alternative design schemes for hydropower development, options analysis; preliminary screening of preferred project sites, water resources assessment; technical, environmental impact and social acceptability assessment, and right-of-way survey.
