The SLTEC Calaca Power Station is a 270-MW coal-fired power station in Calaca, Batangas

History

The power plant was a project of South Luzon Thermal Corp. (SLTEC), a company jointly owned by Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corp. of the PHINMA Group and AC Energy (ACEN) of the Ayala Group. [1]

The first unit of SLTEC's coal power station in Calaca, Batangas became operational on April 24, 2015 [1] and the second one on February 25, 2016. [2]
