the-art Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler technology.

No new baseload power plant was made available for the entire province of Cebu and neighboring
islands in over 20 years prior to CEDC’s operations. With the assurance of stable power supply
through CEDC, Cebu has witnessed the advent of rapid economic development, particularly in the
areas of tourism, shipbuilding, retail shopping, and other major industries.

 The KEPCO SPC Power Corporation (KSPC u1,u2)

The KEPCO SPC Power Corporation coal-fired power plant is located in the City of Naga, Cebu. It
consists of two 103MW units that started its commercial operations last February and May 2011.

The plant utilizes the latest Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) Technology, a clean coal
technology proven globally to be compliant with stringent environmental laws such as the
Philippine Clean Air Act and the World Bank standards. Emissions from facilities using this globally
accepted technology have been proven – by over 1,300 CFBC units operating around the world –
to be very well within the limitations set by the Clean Air Act. The injection of limestone into the
combustor significantly reduces sulfur (SOx) emission while formation of nitrogen oxide (NOx)
emissions is reduced, if not eliminated, due to low combustion temperature of 850-900 °C.
