The Alsons Power Group is pushing the construction of a 15-megawatt run-of-river hydroelectric power project at the Siguil River basin in Maasim, Sarangani province after recently signing a contract with Sta. Clara International Corp. The P3.7-billion hydro power plant, which is scheduled to begin commercial operations in 2020, will provide power to Sarangani, General Santos City and key municipalities of South Cotabato province. The Siguil project is the initial rollout of Alsons’ potential 200-MW hydro capacity that includes another in Bago City, Negros Occidental province.
