MARIVELES, Bataan, July 02 (PNA) — The 600-megawatt (MW) power plant in this province will be ready to supply the Luzon grid with cheap power beginning January next year with special discount for the host province of Bataan, plant officials said.
Engineer Steve Barber, GN Power Plant construction manager, said they would be selling electric power at only P4 per kilowatt hour.
“Use more and you get more discount,” the American project engineer said as he explained that the rate was calculated per formula depending on how much the customer uses.
