P64-B hydropower project to rise in Benguet

MANILA, Philippines — Filipino-Korean firm Coheco Badeo Corp. is still pursuing its plan to build a P64.3-billion pumped-storage hydropower project in Benguet — a project that was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the company has requested the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for public scoping for its 500-megawatt Kibungan Badeo pumped-storage hydroelectric power project.
