Aboitiz Power Corp. expects to increase the generation capacity of the Tiwi and MakBan geothermal power plants after the six-year rehabilitation of the steamfield commenced last year.

AboitizPower chief operating officer Emmanuel Rubio said rehabilitation in the Tiwi and MakBan Geothermal Complex has already commenced.

“We have started looking at rehabilitating some wells in Tiwi. I think we’re already seeing some of the output of the (steamfield). It’s 12 wells, 50 megawatts. We signed that contract,” he said.
