Geothermal Steam
Three geothermal plants – located in Malitbog, Mahanagdong and Upper Mahiao in the province of Leyte in southern Philippines – and the
Casecnan project – a hydroelectric facility located in the northern part of Luzon, the Philippines’ main island – provide energy from naturally occuring resources.

Energy produced by the Malitbog, Mahanagdong and Upper Mahiao projects is from naturally occurring geothermal steam, a preferred energy source because it is reliable, renewable, clean, indigenous and economical. This fuel source is especially valuable in countries like the Philippines where abundant geothermal resources can be utilized to satisfy increasing electric power demands.


Run-of-the-River Hydro
CalEnergy Generation also operates the Casecnan project which uses nonpolluting, renewable, indigenous hydroelectric sources, as water from the Casecnan and Taan Rivers is collected and diverted by two small diversion weirs. In addition to the project's electricity generation, diverted water also is used for agricultural purposes.
