Luckily, the Agusan Bonanza Property is within 5-10 kilometers to the Mindanao National Grid. Power is available.

wpe9.jpg (9769 bytes) The Mindanao grid of the National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR) is located 6 kilometers to the property. The cost of electricity from the local cooperative is Peso 4-5 depending on the peak load time. NAPOCOR can sell direct to bulk electricity user at Peso 2-2.5 per kwh. An alternative source of power is by generating private power utilising the small series of hydroelectric gensets along the Catangan and Tula-tulaan Creek. There is a height difference from 1,500 to 100 over 7-kilometer distance. Estimated cost of hydroelectric is 2-3 USCents per Kilowatt.
