LACONWAP GREEN ENERGY
18 MW Hydroelectric Cascade
Elevating Philippine clean energy with Laconwap Green Energy Inc.'s 18.0 MW run-of-river cascade hydroelectric portfolio and USD $35M staged equity investment facility.
Laconwap Green Energy Inc. master development roadmap across the Laconwap River basin. Phase 1 (8.0 MW) represents the active pre-construction stage, followed by Phase 2 (6.0 MW) and Phase 3 (4.0 MW) cascade expansions.
Active flagship project with completed Pre-Feasibility Study, approved DOE Service Contract SC-2020-04-0013, and secured $35M investment facility.
Second stage cascade expansion utilizing the contiguous hydraulic head and river gradient along the Laconwap river valley.
Final phase completing the 18.0 MW basin-wide master plan, maximizing energy capture and regional grid reliability in Northern Luzon.
Key milestones achieved as of December 2025 across technical, legal, and financial domains for the 8.0 MW Phase 1 (Laconwap 3 MHPP).
Navigate through satellite imagery, official DOE surveys, watershed analysis and engineering plans of the 8 MW facility.
Aerial view of the Laconwap 3 scheme showing the intake dam at elevation 600m ASL, the 2.7 km penstock alignment following river contours, and the powerhouse at 445m ASL in Nagtipunan, Quirino.
River water is diverted at 600m ASL through a weir dam and headrace channel into the penstock system.
Water flows through a 2.7 km steel penstock, gaining kinetic energy as it drops 155m in elevation.
High-pressure water spins twin Francis turbines at 750 RPM, driving generators producing 8 MW of clean electricity.
Electricity is stepped up to 69 kV and fed into the Luzon grid via a dedicated transmission line to power Northern Luzon.
