Energy China Signs Its First Large-Scale Pumped Storage Power Project in Philippines

A consortium of two subsidiaries of China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (Energy China Group), a China-based engineering design company and MHPC signed a contract to develop the Mapanuepe 500MW pumped storage power station in the Philippines on Dec 22.

Located in the province of Zambales, the station includes two reservoirs, the water transmission system, underground workshops and switch stations.

With a total installed capacity of 500 megawatts, the project is expected to improve local power supply and lay a foundation for clean power development and environmental protection.

The station is the first large-scale pumped storage power project contracted by Energy China in the Philippines and will contribute to the company's development in the country.

What's more, as a result of the Belt and Road Initiative the project will boost construction of the shared future of the China-ASEAN community.
