                    [Summary] => The National Power Corp. (Napocor) will bid out the contract for the transfer of the 110-megawatt (MW) Pinamucan power plant in the next two weeks, a ranking company official said. 


Napocor president Rogelio Murga said they will have another pre-bid conference sometime early next month to allow the prospective bidders to have enough time to thresh out remaining issues on the contract. 


Napocor was supposed to auction off the contract for Pinamucan last Friday but decided to postpone it for another two weeks because of some issues that have to be cleared out.

                    [Summary] => The Joint Congressional Power Commission (JCPC) has favorably endorsed the relocation of the National Power Corp.’s 110-megawatt Pinamucan power plant in Batangas to Dingle in Iloilo. 


The JCPC’s go-signal is a necessary process since Napocor itself is under Republic Act 9136 is prohibited to enter into new contracts. 


The transfer has been perceived as one of the immediate solutions to the looming power supply shortfall in the Visayas, particularly in the Cebu-Negros-Panay (CNP) areas.
