JICA Builds Third Hydropower Plant in Ifugao

In the hopes of rehabilitating the Banaue Rice Terraces, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), in partnership with Department of Energy and Ifugao LGU has started building another mini hydropower plant called the Likud Mini-Hydro Power Plant Project (LMHPPP).

This Php400M Hydropower Plant will harness the power of the Likud River and is estimated to produce 820KwH from it; four times more powerful than what the Ambangal Mini-Hydro Power Plant is generating.

A portion of the revenue generated from the electricity sale will proceed to the Rice Terraces Conservation Fund (RCTF) which will then be used for the preservation of ifugao’s man-made marvel.

The LMHPPP is expected to be finished by early 2015. Upon completion, the operation and maintenance of the plant will be handled by the Ifugao LGU which is currently spearheaded by Governor Denis Habawel.

    The power generated by the dam is incorrect. The 820KwH is not a unit of power but a unit of energy.

    And besides, 820 kWh is a very very low energy output. It is like the energy consumed by a 9 W LED light turned on 24/7 for 365 days.

    The correct power output should be 820KW not 820KWH.
