North Negros BioPower

North Negros BioPower is a biomass power plant project near Victorias City in Negros Occidental province in the Philippines.

The North Negros BioPower stand-alone base-load power plant project has a gross power generation capacity of 25 MW and generates approx. 185 million kWh annually. This is equivalent to the energy consumption of around 265,000 people in the region. The project will construct a biomass power plant using as fuel waste generated from the harvesting and processing of sugarcane, supplemented by grassy and woody energy crops.
