Pulangi IV Hydroelectric Plant (National Power Corporation)

Pulangi IV Hydroelectric Plant is a 255-MW hydroelectric power plant located in Maramag, Bukidnon. With
three (3) generating units, the Pulangi IV HEP is a run-off the river type of power plant using the most
advanced hydroelectric power technology. It was commercial operated on December 21, 1985 and since
then, it had generated more than 24, 742, 534 MWH.

In the first quarter of 2021, Pulangi IV HEP implemented its first dewatering activity aimed at addressing
the large sourcing underneath the concrete bed of the headrace channel approaching the surge pool area.
The repair activity was successfully implemented within target dates, resulting to more reliability in its
operations.

National Power Coporation oprations of its hydroelectric power plants in resulted to an energy generation
of 3, 569.6 GwH as of September 30, 2012, resulting to a net income of more than P8 Billion. Needless to
say, the income generated out of the NPC and the government in paying for its obligations incurred in the
conduct of missionary electrification and those arising from IPP contracts.

Location of the Project

Pulangi IV is located on the Pulangi River near Maramag in Bukidnon province on the island of Mindanao
in the Philippines.

Environment management is a key aspect of hydropower development, but there is a lack of empirical
studies demonstrating the overall aspects of environment management of hydropower project delivery. As
environment management is largely subjected to legal requirements, incorporating the relevant
requirements of laws and regulations into environment management systems is essential for participants
to deliver the hydropower project. The environment management system should be established by
integrating the legal requirements and needs of project implementation, which can help to reduce the
influence of legal restrictions on hydropower development.
