Sucat Thermal Power Plant was an oil-fired steam turbine plant in Muntinlupa commissioned in 1968.[1] The plant was fully decommissioned in 2002. The facility is being auctioned by the government to private bidders on conditions that the facility will be kept as a power-generation site.[2]
History
Known formerly as the Gardner Snyder Thermal Plant, the Sucat Thermal Power Plant was commissioned in August 1, 1968 upon the completion of Unit 1 of the facility. Additional units were built in 1970, 1971 and 1972. On November 1978, the National Power Corporation acquired the facility from Meralco.[3]
In January 2000, Unit 1 and 4 was decommissioned but was preserved. Unit 2 and 3 were later decommissioned at a later time in January 2002.[3] The Sucat Thermal Power Plant was decommissioned due to its emissions exceeding the limits set by the Clean Air Act.[4]
