The Maibarara geothermal field in Batangas province has additional steam reserves equivalent to 26 megawatts of electricity, according to a study conducted by New Zealand company Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) part of Jacobs Engineering Group.

Maibarara Geothermal Inc. is currently expanding the existing Maibarara geothermal power project by an additional 10 MW to bring the total output to 30 MW once completed by 2017.

Maibarara tapped SKM to conduct a comprehensive third-party technical review of the geothermal field, which showed another potential of 10 MW to 26 MW of power output south of and outside of the current area of development.

Maibarara said its own simulation indicated proven reserves of 27.8 MW for 25 years while SKM calculated reserves at 44 MW.
