Basic Energy Keen on Bulusan Geothermal Project (Manila Standard Today)

Basic Energy Corp. is keen on pursuing the development of the West Bulusan geothermal power project in Sorsogon province, once it obtains government permits, a company executive said.

Basic Energy president Oscar de Venecia Jr. said the company’s application was still under review by the Philippines' Energy Department. The generation capacity of West Bulusan geothermal project has yet to be determined, he said.
