CAGAYAN DE ORO – In Mindanao whose power needs are significantly supplied by hydroelectric power, around 25% in 2022, any changes in the water level at Lake Lanao will have dire impacts on the power supply of the island.
With the onset of El Nino and its impact on Mindanao soon, the dependable generation capacities of our hydroelectric power plants will soon decrease. This will have dire impacts on Mindanao power consumers as coal-fired and diesel-fired power plants fill in the supply gap. As a far-reaching solution to the problem of maintaining the 701 meters above sea level rule curve elevation, the use of solar power will enable Lake Lanao to recharge and maintain its water level within the rule curve. The rule curve elevation is the level the lake must maintain to enable the hydroelectric power dam to generate sufficient electricity and protect the integrity of the lake.
