Silliman University Medical Center Foundation Inc. (SUMCFI) has partnered with First Gen Corp. for the supply of power from renewable sources.
The partnership makes SUMCFI the first hospital in Negros Oriental to be directly powered by geothermal energy from locally sourced clean power.
“After carefully evaluating offers from various proponents, the board has decided to partner with First Gen that will be able to supply us with clean, renewable energy through geothermal power coming from our very own province here in Negros Oriental at a very competitive price,” said Emmanuel Abellanosa, SUMCFI board of directors member, in a statement.
First Gen said the 800 kilowatt geothermal power supply will start on Jan. 26, 2023 and will be sourced from a facility operated by the Energy Development Corp. (EDC)
