Mindanao wants another plant despite glut of power on island
Article Abstract:
The island of Mindanao in the Philippines is experiencing an oversupply of electric power. This situation is not an unalloyed blessing since the area's chief utility firm, Northern Mindanao Power Corp., has only been able to utilize up to 80% of its capacity and has even been closed for about three months in 1994. Nevertheless, energy officials believe that this development will not be permanent and have thus decided to approve the construction of another private power plant in anticipation of increased demand.
