The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Bohol has discussed the proposed solar power plant by Ignis Energia, which presented the project study to the board last week.
The plant will be built in barangay Imelda, Ubay town and will have a capacity of 155 Megawatts.
The company said that if the project is completed, it would only collect about P3 plus per kilowatt hour when compared to P16.00 to P18.00 khw imposed by local distribution utilities in Bohol.
The incumbent administration has been receiving proposals of power supply from various firms.
San Miguel Corporation is also planning to put up a Solar Power Plant here while the Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group is interested in building wind mills in eastern part of Bohol.
The PetroGreen Energy Corporation has groundbreak the 25-MW solar project in barangay San Vicente, Dagohoy town sometime last year.
Bohol is heavily dependent on the 100MW power supply from geothermal plant in Leyte.
