“If we want to be a global leader in climate action, we can start with rehabilitating the Agus-Pulangi power plants in Mindanao. This long-term measure will eventually reduce Mindanao’s reliance on coal, and accelerate our shift to clean energy sources,” Rep. Duterte said in a statement. Under the government’s National Renewable Energy Program 2020-2040, the Department of Energy is targeting to increase the share of RE sources in the power generation mix to at least 35 percent by 2030 and to more than 50 percent by 2040.

The APHC consists of seven mostly run-of-river hydropower plants with a total installed capacity of 1,001 MW. The PSALM and NPC, as owner and operator, respectively, of the APHPC will both serve as the implementing units.
