The SLTEC Calaca Power Station is a 270-MW coal-fired power station in Calaca, Batangas

History

The power plant was a project of South Luzon Thermal Corp. (SLTEC), a company jointly owned by Trans-Asia Oil and Energy Development Corp. of the PHINMA Group and AC Energy (ACEN) of the Ayala Group.[1]

The first unit of SLTEC's coal power station in Calaca, Batangas became operational on April 24, 2015[1] and the second one on February 25, 2016.[2]

By 2021, ACEN would acquire full stakes on SLTEC, acquiring the shares of Axia Power Holdings Philippines of Marubeni.[3] ACEN would completely divest it shares on SLTEC in 2022, marking its full transition to renewable energy.[4] This marks the commencement of the plant's early retirement by 2030.[5]
