The $500 million San Lorenzo CCGT facility is now generating 500MW electrical power. It is located in Batangas City, along the Batangas Bay, around 100km from the Philippine capital Manila. The plant is adjacent to the Santa Rita Project. This strategic location allows it to share common facilities such as the tank farm and fuel jetty, thereby eliminating the need to duplicate various operational facilities. The power station uses a Siemens GUD.1S.3A model gas turbine, a steam turbine and a horizontal heat recovery boiler (HRSG) in each power generation unit. Two power generation units have a single-shaft configuration. The project's cost is estimated to be $500 million inclusive of capital costs, working capital requirements, related pipeline financing, insurance and development costs. The finance was based on 75% debt and 25% equity structure. Cost reductions via pooling of operations, maintenance and other expenses are also achieved. The plant opened in Q4 2002. In December 2003, the owners of the Santa Rita and San Lorenzo power stations and Meralco concluded a review of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as mandated by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act. The owners and Meralco have cooperatively reviewed the PPA and incorporated a number of incentives intended to encourage increased plant utilisation and subsequent efficiency gains.

What is the energy mix in the Philippines?
The indigenous energy mix in the Philippines include oil, natural gas, coal, hydro, geothermal, biomass, solar and wind.
What is the purpose of an inverter in solar power plants?
because it is
What is the most common type of power plant?
The most common type of power plant is one that uses fossil fuels such as coal, oil or natural gas. Less common power plants use nuclear, geo-thermal, hydro-electric, wind, solar, or other power sources to run the plants.
Are solar stock prices affected by the price of oil per barrel?
To a large degree this is true. Solar energy is an alternative to fossil fuels which use oil. With low oil prices, the cost of using solar power may not be as appealing as carbon fuels since it is costlier to produce solar power. Aside from price, there are other factors that determine a solar stock's price. As of now, this is largely government's incentive policies.
What are the social and economic benefits of solar energy?
After the initial set costs, solar energy on paper is "free" energy, it is very low maintenance and pollution free
What are the different kinds of power plants located at Philippines?
No nuclear ones, apart from Bataan which has never operated
Why does the UAE not use solar energy?
The UAE has several solar energy plants, both CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) and PV (Photovoltaic).
What do you call energy from the sun?
solar power/ solar energy photosynthesis is the process of turning solar energy into energy for respiration within plants
Where are solar energy power plants located?
Solar energy plants are generally located where there are few clouds. The desert is a good location.
What do you call energy obtained from the sun?
solar power/ solar energy photosynthesis is the process of turning solar energy into energy for respiration within plants
What types of energy do Russians use?
Russians use energy like we all do. Coal and oil fired power plants. Nuclear power plants. Wind and solar power.
Examples of renewable resources in the philippines?
A non renewable resource of the Philippines is rock phosphate.
Is solar energy created in power plants?
No, solar energy is produced by the sun. We can capture it with solar panels, or solar farms, which are banks of panels or other gadgets to capture the sun's heat and energy. We can then transform this into electricity.
Why is solar energy a clean form of energy?
Solar energy is claimed as a clean form of energy as no carbon dioxide or nitrogen and sulfur oxides are produced during the operation of solar plants or solar cells (as is the case when using fossil fuels as coal, oil, or natural gas). However, solar energy is not absolutely clean if we look to the overall solar cycle including the production of solar cells or mirrors as well including the decommissioning of these solar plants or cells. Around 50 toxic elements are included in the production of solar cells or mirrors. In this regards, nuclear, wind, and hydro-electric power plants are even cleaner than solar power plants.
Is solar power plant is better than wind power plant?
Yes, solar power plants are better than wind power plants. The reason is that wind power plants convert wind into electricity, but if there is no wind, wind power plants won't be able to do their job. Solar Power Plants use solar energy from our entire solar system. There is infinite solar energy in the solar system, so solar solar power plants are better. Solar and wind do not produce any real power in terms of our needs. Solar is the worst of the two by a small margin. Typical payback, in terms of energy used to create and maintain a solar panel is longer then the projected life of a panel. Winds worst issue is the needed fossil fuel plants running in the background. This power is completely wasted unless the wind stops or slows below the running speed of the turbine. Wind also stops generating power at speeds above 32 mph. The fossil fuel plant again will make up this loss. The better alternative is hydro then either of these that provide little or no power.
What kind of science is solar power?
Solar power is a form of energy in witch a molecule gets its power from the sun and it is called photosynthesis Additionally, solar energy can be converted into electricity via the use of photoelectric cells. This allows for the construction of power plants which utilize the sun to power cities.
Why do we need solar power plants?
Solar power is a great example of renewable energy, which can help reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, which will run out eventually.we solar power becuse to make stuff better
