Expansion
DMCI Power Corp. plans to expand the power station in two phases (300 MW each), bringing the total capacity of the Calaca station to 1,200 MW.

In 2012, Consunji Group’s Southwest Luzon Power Generation Corp., the wholly-owned subsidiary of Semirara Mining Corp., signed an P11.5-billion loan agreement with three local banks to finance the first phase (300-MW) of the expansion, scheduled for completion by 2015.

DMCI is seeking contracts for the second phase, scheduled for completion by 2016.
