Caneo Project

Location: Caneo, Bontoc, Mountain Province, Philippines.
This project has a preliminary calculated power capacity of 3 MW.

• Preliminary planning and hydrologic analysis conducted by the undersigned showed the following salient features about the project:
  
• Watershed area: 82.6 sq.km.
  
• Weir site at El 960 meters above sea level(masl) and with a medium high 12 meters run-off river diversion weir, crest level is 972 masl at coordinates Long 121-00-31.327 and Lat 17-03- 02.087
  
• Headrace length is approximately 2.41 kilometers(km)
  
• Penstock length is about 80 m
  
• Powerhouse is at level 900 masl
  
• Above data will produce a gross head of 72 m.
  
• Average 4 months rainy season Flow is about 6.30 cms, as basis of rated capacity
  
• Power capacity is about 3 MW ( +, -) for 30% of time flow exceedence, and about 50% plant factor subject to confirmation based on the conduct of comprehensive hydrologic study
  
• Philosophy for power capacity design= maximum generation, as plant will be tied to the National Grid and the Lower Talubin hydro plant will enjoy the benefit of first dispatch and must buy provision of RA 9513 – The New Renewable Energy Act of 2008 and will be the beneficiary of the Feed-in- Tariff (FiT).

The detailed feasibility study will verify the above mentioned preliminary results.
