Operation: 1998-1999

EPC: Stone & Webster, Commonwealth Engineers, MHI
Quick facts: In Dec 2004, PSALM awarded the
Masinloc plant to a consortium of YNN Holdings Corp and Great Pacific
Financial Group for $561.7mn. This was the largest sale by far to that
date and was both double the next highest bid and substantially above the
expected bid. In the event, the consortium could not consummate the sale
and the plant was rebid in Jul 2007 and eventually sold to a consortium
led by AES Corp. Financing closed in mid-April 2008, with the participation of
the ADB, IFC and a syndicate of commercial banks. A new 600-MW unit is in planning.

Pagbilao
Location: Quezon
Operator: TeaM Energy Corp
Configuration: 2 X 367 MW
Operation: 1996
Fuel: coal
Boiler supplier: MHI
T/G supplier: MHI, Melco
EPC: B&V, Slipform
Quick facts: This site is only 15km from Manila
on the southwestern tip of Pagbilao Grande island, but the location is
isolated from heavy transportation links and the construction logistics
were daunting. While about $45mn over the initial budget, and not inexpensive at
$1,300/kW, Pagbilao was a model for fast-track IPP deployment in
developing countries. In Jun 2007, Mirant sold the Pagbilao and Sual
coal-fired plant and a 20% stake in the Ilijan combined-cycle plant to
TeaM Energy Corp for $3.424bn. TeaM is a joint venture of Tepco Intl and
Marubeni Corp.
