                    [Summary] => Kepco Philippines Inc. (Kepco) has shelved plans to invest in other power-related infrastructure projects.


Kepco which holds a contract for the operation of the 1,200-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant in Batangas, is a subsidiary of the Korean Power Corp., one of the biggest power generators in Korea.


Company officials said the current political crisis and the absence of privatization rules for the energy sector are the principal reasons why the Korean firm is holding back on new investments.

The power station, to be fueled by natural gas, will use the latest combined-cycle technology and advanced emission-control equipment to maximize efficiency and environmental performance. The plant will provide electricity to the National Power Corp. (Napocor) under a 20-year agreement that gives Napocor rights to 1,200 megawatts of the station’s capacity.
