Sem-Calaca disclosed early this month that Unit 2 was also undergoing a planned outage to include the thorough assessment/inspection of the unit prior to the final phase of the rehabilitation (life extension programme) in 2019. “Unit 2 is expected to be back online by end of the month,” Sem-Calaca said earlier.
Sem-Calaca unit Southwest Luzon Power Generation Corp. reported that Unit 1 of its 300 MW power unit in Batangas was put on unplanned outage since 20 March due to abnormal equipment vibration. SLPGC operates Unit 3 of Calaca power plant complex. Unit 3 is located adjacent to SCPC’s 600 MW coal-fired power plant. “Detailed inspection of the unit will be done immediately. While, its power unit Unit 2 (150 MW) is currently undergoing regular planned maintenance outage and target unit online is last week of March 2018,” Semirara Mining said. It said both SLPGC and Sem-Calaca had still allowable outage, thus, not incurring any replacement power.
Sem-Calaca, which owns the country’s biggest coal mine in Antique, posted a consolidated net income after tax of P14.14 billion in 2017, up 18% from P12.04 billion in 2016.
