Thus, said Alyansa ng mga Grupong Haligi ng Agham at Teknolohiya para sa Mamamayan (Agham) President Angelo B. Palmones Wednesday, Feb. 17, as he presented details about the power contract hopeful’s background.
The consumer group noted that in October 2020, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a moratorium on endorsing greenfield or new coal-fired power plant projects notwithstanding committed projects and expansion projects.
“Our group stresses that the Kingstone project is actually covered by the DOE moratorium against coal power plants. Thus, they are outrightly disqualified,” Palmones said.
He also claimed Kingstone, which is bidding to supply 1,200 MW under the Meralco deal, is a Hong Kong-based company. The former congressman further said that Kingstone was solely represented by a law firm during the competitive selection process (CSP) for the power supply deal.
