CalEnergy Philippines

CalEnergy Philippines is a MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company affiliate, a global leader in the production, supply and distribution of energy. It explores and develops energy sources that are reliable, renewable, clean, indigenous, economical and beneficial to the environment.

In 1994, CalEnergy sought to further develop the Philippines’ vast water reserves. It took on the challenge of implementing a modified design for the long-planned Casecnan Transbasin Project that aimed to maximize the benefits of the underutilized Pantabangan Dam.

The Casecnan Multipurpose Irrigation and Power Project is a combined hydro and irrigation facility that diverts excess water from the Casecnan and Taan rivers through a 16-mile tunnel to a generating plant. The water is used to irrigate nearly 137,000 hectares of rice fields in central Luzon. In addition to generating electricity from its own hydro plant, the Casecnan facility feeds water to two other nearby hydro plants.

In March 2011, after nearly 10 years, CalEnergy Philippines achieved 1.5 million safe man-hours worked without a lost-time accident. In 2011, CalEnergy Philippines also achieved its Triple Zero safety goal of zero lost-time accidents, zero Occupational Safety and Health Administration recordable incidents, and zero preventable vehicle accidents for the first time since the company started operations.

CalEnergy provides assistance to local governments and communities through its corporate social responsibility programs and supports educational opportunities, livelihood projects, and environmental stewardship, and infrastructure development.

CalEnergy Philippines completed a six-year pilot reforestation program in 2010, with more than 3,600 hectares reforested, and maintenance of reforested areas is ongoing.
