MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Energy (DOE) on Friday announced that Malampaya Deep Water Gasto-Power Project would be shut down from June 15 to July 15 for a scheduled maintenance.
The DOE said this has been closely coordinated with other relevant stakeholders to ensure that the Shallow Water Platform and Onshore Gas Plant continue to operate in a safe, reliable, and efficient manner.
The scheduled maintenance will cover key facilities at the Shallow Wate Platform in offshore northwest Palawan and the Onshore Gas Plant in Tabangao, Batangas City.
Activities will include integrity inspections, servicing of mechanical and control systems, and safety-critical maintenance works.
During the maintenance period, the DOE said that the supply of natural gas from Malampaya would be temporarily halted, and that power plants would switch to alternate fuel sources.
