The Bac-Man Geothermal Production Field, also known as the BacMan Geothermal Power Plant, is one of the geothermal power stations operated by Energy Development Corporation in the provinces of Albay and Sorsogon in the Philippines. It is named for its location in the municipalities of Bacon (a district since merged with Sorsogon City) and Manito.
Current operation
This geothermal field can produce 140 megawatts of electricity for the island of Luzon. It consists of two power plants:
- BacMan 1 - The Palayang Bayan area consisting of 22 production wells and 9 reinjection wells. [1]
- BacMan 2 - The Cawayan and Botong (decommissioned) area consisting of eight production wells and seven reinjection wells. [1]
History
- In 1977, the exploration began in the area of Cawayan operated by an Australian company.
- In 1979, the BacMan Geothermal Field was created.
- From 1993 to 1995, the first operational unit existed in Palayang Bayan called Palayang Bayan Unit 1 and 2.
- In 1996, the second operational unit was created in the Cawayan area.
- In 1998, the third operational unit occurred in the Botong area but in 2004, it was decommissioned due to the destruction of facilities.
