Message From Trustee Cerael "Dodong" Donggay

Fellow Trustees, Members & Friends,

There may be no large power plants that can fill outright the power deficiency in Mindanao, but there are MITIGATING SOLUTIONS to the power crisis.  Among them:

1.  CONSERVE ELECTRICITY.  One person neglecting a 40 watt fluorescent lamp being lighted unnecessarily for an hour means wasted energy of 400 MW generated by power plants if 10 million people in Mindanao do the same. If possible avoid using the following electric stoves and irons, microwaves, oven toasters and other electrical equipment.  The power you save may help save the life of a patient in an operating room needing electricity.  In as much as 17% of Mindanao energy mix comes from oil-based plants, power save means lesser carbon dioxide emission and, therefore, lesser contribution to global warming. It takes million of years to form a drop of oil but only seconds to burn it.

2.  SOLAR POWER.  The undersigned in behalf of GREENERGY conducted research and evaluation of SOLAR manufacturers in the world who could provide the cheapest possible SOLAR Photo Voltaic (PV) equipment including the latest technology using THIN FILMS.  This TF technology is found to be much cheaper than the typical SOLAR PANEL using crystalline Silicone materials. Large scale SOLAR PV plants and SOLAR Home System are being explored by yours truly.  It's the endless source of CLEAN and RENEWABLE power.

3.  SUPPORT HYDRO POWER.  This is long-term solution from cheap, clean, sustainable supply.  Pre-development of the biggest 300 MW Pulangi 5 Hydro Project is in high gear. Eighty percent (80%) of the affected Communities (22 Barangays) have already supported the development of said project after 7 months of Information and Education Program.  Discussions are on-going with Multi-Nationals, Investors and Financiers for this project. Completion: 2016. The 132 MW Bulanog-Batang Hydro Project has completed its ECC, Water Permit, CC and other government requirements.  Negotiation with multi-national Contractors covering Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) is on-going.  Our TOR mandates EPC Contractor to bring in Financing. Completion: 2014

My humble contribution to the prevailing power crisis.  Sorry, I can not do above alone. 

Regards,

Dodong
