Hydroelectric Power Plants in The Philippines

The document summarizes key hydroelectric power plants in the Philippines, including their locations and purposes. It describes over a dozen major dams such as the Agusan Dam, Angat Dam, Binga Dam, Caliraya Dam, Casecnan Dam, Lumot Dam, Magat Dam, Pantabangan Dam, Pulangi Dam, and San Roque Dam. These dams generate hydroelectric power, provide irrigation water, enable flood control, and have become recreational sites. The largest is the San Roque Dam on the Agno River, which also ranks as one of the largest dams worldwide.

Hydroelectric power plants in the Philippines

 Agusan Dam The Agusan Hydroelectric Plant, the downstream facility of two proposed
plants, was constructed in Damilag, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon to serve the immediate
domestic and industrial requirements of the area. The watershed is small, and covers an area
of around 25 km2 at the diversion dam. The run-of-river plant consists of two 800-kW turbine
generators that use water from the Agusan River to generate electricity. It is connected to the
local distribution grid Cepalco through the Transco distribution line.
 Angat Dam It is a concrete water reservoir embankment hydroelectric dam that supplies
the Metropolitan area water. It was a part of the Angat-Ipo-La Mesa water system. The
reservoir supplies about 90 percent of raw water requirements for Metro Manila through the
facilities of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System and it irrigates about 28,000
hectares of farmland in the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga. It is located within the Angat
Watershed Forest Reserve in Barangay San Lorenzo (Hilltop), Norzagaray, Bulacan.

 Binga Dam It is a dam in Agno River connected to a hydroelectric power plant situated at
Barrio Binga, Barangay Tinongdan in the municipality of Itogon in Benguet province of
the Philippines.
 Bustos Dam It also known as Angat Afterbay Regulator Dam is a small irrigation dam
at Bustos, Bulacan is often mistaken by the locals as Angat Dam since it is located close to the
nearby town of Angat. The project is located at Barangay Tibagan, Bustos, Bulacan, served by
the Angat River. The main dam is about 18 meters above sea level. Among the 2.5-meter high,
six-span dam’s main features are easily deflatable and inflatable rubber body, resistance to
sedimentation, economical and having auto-deflation system.

 Caliraya Dam is an embankment dam located in the town of Lumban province of Laguna, in
the Sierra Madre Mountain Range of the Philippines. The reservoir created by the dam, Lake
Caliraya, initially supplied one of the oldest hydroelectric plants in the Philippines, and later
became a popular recreational area for numerous water sports and fishing. The dam's
construction was started in 1939 under the supervision of the engineering firm Pedro Siochi
and Company and a small hydroelectric plant was operated in 1942.
 Casecnan Dam

Casecnan Irrigation and Hydroelectric Plant is a dam diverting water from the Casecnan
and Taan Rivers to the Pantabangan Reservoir through a 25-kilometre (16 mi) long tunnel
located near Pantabangan and Muñoz in Nueva Ecija province of the Philippines. The multi-
purpose dam provides water for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation while its
reservoir affords flood control. It was considered one of the most expensive hydroelectric
plants built in the country, being next only to San Roque Dam.

The Casecnan Irrigation and Power Generation Project is also located in Rizal, Nueva Ecija

 Kalayaan Pumped-Storage Hydroelectric Project The pumped-storage hydroelectric project


was commissioned on February 23, 1983 with an initial output of 300 MW from two turbines

 Lumot Dam is an embankment dam located between the towns of Cavinti and Lumban, in
the province of Laguna, Philippines. The dam was constructed across Lumot River creating
a reservoir now known as Lumot Lake or Sierra Lake. Lumot Lake provides additional water
through a Bell-mouth spillway and tunnel to Caliraya Lake, which in turn serves as the upper
reservoir for the Kalayaan Pumped-Storage Hydroelectric Plant

 Magat Dam is a large rock-fill dam in the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The dam is on
the Magat River, a major tributary of Cagayan River. Construction of the dam started in 1975
and was completed in 1982. Magat Dam is one of the largest dams in the Philippines. It is a
multi-purpose dam which is used primarily for irrigating about 85,000 hectares (210,000 acres)
of agricultural lands, flood control, and power generation through the Magat Hydroelectric
Power Plant.
The water stored in the reservoir is enough to supply about two months of normal energy
requirements.

 Pantabangan Dam is an earth-fill embankment dam on the Pampanga River located


in Pantabangan in Nueva Ecija province of the Philippines. The multi-purpose dam provides
water for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation while its reservoir, Pantabangan Lake,
affords flood control. The reservoir is considered one of the largest in Southeast Asia and also
one of the cleanest in the Philippines. Construction on the dam began in 1971 and it was
completed in 1974
 Pulangi Dam The Pulangi IV Hydroelectric Power Plant, also known as the Pulangi Dam,
is located on the Pulangi River near Maramag in Bukidnon province on the island
of Mindanao in the Philippines. It uses two reservoirs, produced by damming the Pulangi
River, to supply water to a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power plant; the power plant is
capable of generating 255 megawatts (342,000 hp) of power. Construction began in 1982; the
first two generators became operational in December 1985, with the last generator being
commissioned in 1986.
 Pulangi River

 San Roque Dam (Philippines) operated under San Roque Multipurpose Project (SRMP) is a
200-meter-tall, 1.2 kilometer long embankment dam on the Agno River. It is the largest dam
in the Philippines and sixteenth largest in the world (see List of largest dams in the world). It
spans the municipalities of San Manuel and San Nicolas, Pangasinan and is nearly 200 km
north of Metro Manila.
