The Agusan Hydroelectric Plant, the downstream plant of two proposed plants, was constructed in Damilag, Manolo, Fortich, and Bukidnon[1] to serve the immediate domestic and industrial requirements of the area.[2] The watershed is small, and covers an area of around 25 km2 at the diversion dam. [3] The run-of-river plant consists of two 800-kW turbine generators that use water from the Agusan River to generate electricity. It is connected to the local distribution grid, Cepalco through the Transco distribution line.[4]
