The Malampaya deep water gas-to-power project has resumed operations following a month-long scheduled maintenance shutdown, Philstar Biz reported.
The facility, located off the coast of Palawan, supplies natural gas to several power plants in Luzon, generating about one-fifth of the country's electricity needs. The shutdown was part of routine maintenance to ensure operational safety and reliability.
Energy officials had earlier assured the public that the scheduled outage would not lead to power shortages, as alternative fuel sources and reserves were prepared. The resumption of Malampaya operations restores a key component of the Philippines' energy supply chain.
