The Philippines’ SBPL 500MW CFPP site commemorated on January 28 the initial firing, a key process to build a power plant, and zero-accident achievement of 15 million man-hours (as of Jan. 13). The initial firing means testing and igniting fuel and testing boilers. Based on the initial firing, the site entered the full-swing test run stage. The site advanced the initial firing date, which was planned on Feb. 1.

The Philippines’ SBPL 500MW CFPP Project involves building a 500MW new power plant in the coal-fired thermal power plant located in Mauban. Once completed, it will be the first supercritical pressure power plant in the Philippines. The project has been carried out in EPC lump sum turnkey mode wherein Daelim is responsible for design, purchase, construction, and test run. The project kicked off in December 2015, and it is slated to start commercial operation in September 2019.
* Supercritical pressure: A construction method wherein the boiler and turbine’s operation steam condition is raised beyond water’s critical point; its economic feasibility is higher than existing power plants.
