Cadiz City Mayor Patrick Escalante recently announced that President Benigno S. Aquino III supports the establishment of a coal-fired power plant in the city.

The said coal-fired power plant will be installed in a site located in Barangay Banquerohan, Cadiz City.
The over 100-megawatt power plant project is actually comprised of a 23-megawatt diesel field plant and an 83-megawatt coal-fired power plant.
Escalante said “by 2015, Negros could already be assured of 100 megawatts of power.”
Escalante said one entity interested in undertaking the building of the project is the Philippine Power Corporation, which is a conglomeration comprised of Filipino and Chinese investors.

  • This is not good at all. Wastes coming from the powerplant will be dispose nowhere but the sea. It will destroy the sea life specially killing many kinds of fish where most of the local depends on. NO TO COAL-FIRED PLANT in CADIZ!!!
  • As long as the Bottom ash and Fly ash collection system is working properly, no waste will be going to the sea as we commonly misunderstood. These ashes maybe recycled into another useful products depending on how will the management decides. This is just my simple understanding after working in a Coal Fired Power Plant in Madagascar and Guatemala. The government should help educate people on how the system work and how safety is taken care of for the benefit of the poor power consumer. Look what happened to the proposed coal fired power plant in Pulupandan, which was strongly opposed and in turn forwarded to Cebu. Power benefit and employment were wasted. That's the real WASTES.
