1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
1. To address the looming power shortage in the Visayas region, KEPCO SPC Power Corporation (KSPC) undertook the construction of a 2 x 100 megawatts (MW) power plant project in Barangay Colon, City of Naga, Cebu. The project is standing in a 10- hectare land leased for 25 years from National Power Corporation (NPC). The power plant is utilizing imported sub-bituminous coal for its fuel at approximately 800,000 MT per year. The cooling system for condensers is once-through using the surrounding seawater, and the same is also used for the plant’s demineralized and service water needs having its own seawater treatment plant. The facility has virtually no effluents as its wastewater treatment system recycles the treated wastewater for plant service use.
2. The Cebu Power Plant is a clean coal power plant that employs the Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) technology. Clean in the sense that the system reduces Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions due to the introduction of limestone in the fuel stream, staged combustion reducing operating temperatures, and fuel recirculation maximizing consumption respectively.
3. Construction of the project was commenced in 2008. Commercial operation of Unit 1 was achieved in February 2011 while that for Unit 2 was on May 2011. Power is delivered through 138-KV power lines to benefit the Visayas region directly.
4. The project involves 2 resettlement issues: a) in the leased property called Naga Land; and b) along the Transmission Line (T/L) Project. Prior to construction period, resettlement of some informal settlers families just outside the lease land have been carried out as a joint effort by Barangay Colon, Naga-LGU, NPC and KSPC. Out of 22 families, 17 have accepted financial assistance provided and voluntarily moved their houses in the same vicinity outside the plant’s perimeter fence. Five families claim to have legal titles and partially encroached in the leased land. NPC filed a civil case for recovery of possession of the areas occupied by these 5 families.
5. Meanwhile, a social analysis conducted by Transco, now National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), concluded that the proposed 138 KV T/L Project requires land acquisition and resettlement. The transmission line from KSPC’s Cebu Power Plant Project to the New Naga Substation affected 11 landowners, 1 tenant, 13 structures owners and 10 relocatee-households.
6. Environmental issues of the project come in different scales but the only validated issue is that relating to coal and ash dust. With its area near the sea and the main road, and with a lot of residential houses around, the problem on dust is something that will persist every now and then. However, with its active Environmental and Community & Public Relations sector, KSPC has so far controlled the situation and developed long term plans to permanently avoid major pollution occurrences.
1.2 Objective
7. The purpose of this Annual Environmental and Social Performance Report (AESPR) is to report on KSPC’s compliance with the agreed Environmental Management Plan and Social Management Plan including all other applicable environmental and social requirements of the power plant.

2.3 Environmental Management Plan (EMP), Social Development Plan (SDP), and Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) Implementation
11. KSPC’s on-site team ensures that the EMP, SDP, and CSR are implemented and continuously improved. The organization is doing all the best to perfect its current long- term procedures and management systems in handling the environmental, social, health, and safety aspects of the power plant including the setting up of performance indicators to ensure improvement. Reporting is also done properly and regularly in compliance with the different requirements.
12. Efforts have been exerted to formulate specific Health and Safety plans, and Emergency Response procedures. Trainings and drills have been made on site to promote safety awareness. Workers are provided with the necessary health and insurance benefits including health monitoring programs. A Safety Officer under the supervision of the Operations Manager has been designated to oversee all activities in relation to the safety of the employees. A Health, Safety, Security and Environmental Committee have been put up and regular monthly meetings are conducted.
13. At the beginning of each calendar year, C & PR prepares an updated Annual SDP and CSR Program. Regular consultations with the host community/recipients of the project are conducted to know their priority needs. Once a specific project is identified, an internal approval is processed for the implementation of the project. A regular report on the implemented projects is submitted to the External Affairs Department. The CRO is
3
also coordinating with NGCP and NPC with regards to the monitoring of the status of the resettled families in the Naga Land and the status of the ROW cases for the T/L Project.
14. For the Environmental aspect, the EMP including the monitoring plan is continuously reviewed internally and by KSPC’s Multi-Partite Monitoring Team (MMT). Improvements are decided and carried out as soon as internal management approval is achieved. On- site environmental monitoring is being made by E&C Department. In-house laboratory testing of water effluents and coal ash are also being done. Third party environmental monitoring is also being conducted particularly on parameters that are outside of the power plant site. Results of all environmental monitoring are also reviewed by the MMT for further action or recommendations. Environment preservation activities such as tree planting and coastal cleanup are done every year. Long-term programs on both are yet to be established.
3. COMPLIANCE BY PROJECT WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS AS SPECIFIED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT
3.1 Compliance with Country Requirements
15. KSPC is exerting the best efforts to effectively comply with and monitor applicable national and local environmental, social, occupational health and safety laws and regulations. This includes all the conditions in relevant permits / clearance documents issued by all concerned Governmental Authority handling the environmental and social aspect. In December 5, 2005, the project was granted its Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB). The conditions stated in this document are those that must be complied with, in consideration with the timing and related circumstances, by KSPC for the Cebu Power Plant project to be implemented. Aside from its ECC, the following are documents, laws, and/or regulations that KSPC must comply with:
a. Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) [DENR-EMB] b. Certificate of Registration (COR) [Board of Investments, BOI] c. Permit to Operate (PTO) [DENR-EMB] d. Energy Relations 1-94 (ER 1-94) [Department of Energy, DOE] e. Toxic, Hazardous, and Nuclear Wastes Control Act (RA6969) [DENR-EMB] f. Clean Air Act (RA8749) [DENR-EMB] g. Clean Water Act (RA9275) [DENR-EMB] h. Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA9003) [DENR-EMB] i. All DENR Administrative Orders
16. The compliance status to the ECC, and EMP of the project summarizes KSPC’s compliance to its environmental and social country requirements which is found in Annex 1. Though there are no concrete conditions on the social aspect indicated in these documents, KSPC is actively implementing its SDP & CSR Program and other community outreach projects responsive to the needs of the host community. From 2009 and 2010, when the power plant is still under construction, the company spent almost P 1 million for various community projects. Another P 2.8 million was spent in 2011 and 2014. Annex 2 presents the details of the implementation.
17. Aside from its contribution under the SDP & CSR Program, KSPC is setting aside one centavo per kilowatt-hour of its electricity sales as financial benefits to the host communities in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement it entered with the Department of Energy on October 7, 2007 pursuant to Energy Relations 1-94 as
4
provided by the law. The Department of Energy conducts regular audit of the electricity sales of KSPC and coordinates with the company for the accrued financial benefits under the ER 1-94 Program that has to be remitted to the DOE for deposit in the established trust accounts as provided for in the approved MOA.
18. DENR-EMB Region 7 as well as the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Naga City conduct surprise evaluations or inspections every now and then on the power plant’s compliance. So far there were no such instances where in the project was reported to be non- compliant in which significant fines have been imposed or operations closed down. Although not all conditions are met at this moment, the company has provided valid justifications to the inspecting authority on the delay or inapplicability of such a condition.
3.2 Compliance with Safeguard Requirements
19. As a project financed by international lending institutions, KSPC sees to it that it is compliant to the Lenders’ environmental & social policies and guidelines. Assessment for the coverage year provides that KSPC is exerting efforts to be in compliance with Lenders’ recommendations to adhere with the established performance indicators by KSPC. Table 1 describes these indicators as well as the compliance status of each.
20. ADB’s Safeguard Policies on Involuntary Resettlement was complied with in the case of the resettled families in the Naga Land and the T/L Project. Proper compensation and assistance were provided to the concerned families to make sure they are in better condition before the project was carried out. These families continue to enjoy benefits from the company through the SDP & CSR Program and other community outreach program being implemented throughout the host community.
21. Environmental monitoring for the coverage period suggests that the project is generally compliant with the applicable standards. On air quality, a significant finding would be the occasional high levels of ambient particulate concentration. However this occurrence is not frequent and can be attributed to other factors such as dust from vehicles in the highway and dust from the old power plant right across the street. More often than not, the wind directions indicated during these said exceedances imply that the Cebu Power Plant is not a possible source.
22. No major issues are reported on the marine environment. Marine life monitoring was conducted last September 2013, generally results are satisfactory. For ground water, most of the host communities’ water resources, near the sea and up on the mountains, have high dissolved solids. This is consistent with the background values found during the assessment stages of the project (before construction). This is probably due to salt water intrusion or the natural earth composition in the area. Based on KSPC’s monitoring, it is suggested that the ground water points monitored not be made for drinking as it has high bacterial activity probably due to domestic causes. It must be noted that the Cebu Power Plant’s operations does not affect the ground water and depletion is not a concern as it uses sea water for its operations.
23. Starting January 2013, quarterly public consultations were conducted for Barangay Colon, North Poblacion and Tangke. The purpose of the consultations is to update the communities of the different activities of the power plant, as well as get feedback and recommendations from the nearby residents. See Annex 5 for details of each consultation.
24. KSPC have adopted two bodies of water for the Adopt-an-Estero Program of DENR- EMB. These are: 860m portion of the Bohol Strait and 475m portion of the Pangdan
5
River. Quarterly clean-up and tree planting are done at the coastal area of the Bohol Strait fronting the power plant while riprap construction are done at the Pangdan area.
25. The Cebu Power Plant has also contributed in terms of labor influx for the local and host communities. In 2011, approximately 45% of the Cebu Power Plant’s labor force is composed of locals from the host city. This is not yet including the manual laborers of the power plant’s contractors in which the majority are locals.

26. KSPC has effectively organized a team where all grievances and complaints are brought for the company’s attention, discussion, and resolution. The Multi-Partite Monitoring
6
Team (MMT) is composed of all concerned stakeholders majority of which are leaders of the host communities and related sectors therein. The MMT acts as the contact point and information sources of the local populace. Improvements and expansion of the MMT are among the future plans of KSPC. Quarterly MMT Technical Committee Meetings were being conducted for the year 2013.
27. The Community Relations Officer (CRO) also acts as the front line in responding to direct complaints and grievances forwarded to the management. The Pollution Control Officer (PCO) as well as the other technical officers, supervisors, and managers coordinate and support the CRO in this undertaking.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PROGRESS OF THE PROJECT
28. The project is currently on-schedule and has successfully achieved commercial operation status on February 2011 for Unit 1 and May 2011 for Unit 2. Changes in the project design and concerns on the ECC from the start of the power plant’s construction period up to the present are shown in Table 2. All of the project changes are properly assessed technically and environmentally, and communicated accordingly to DENR- EMB.
4.1 Environmental Progress
29. All environmental-related permits are properly applied for. Acquisition status is indicated in Table 3 and necessary renewals will be filed accordingly. Due environmental monitoring was also performed. Plant tours are continuously done to inform and responsibly educate the stakeholders surrounding the community on the whereabouts and updates of the power plant and its operation. Other activities such as tree planting are held to promote the company’s advocacy on sustainable development and environmental protection. Table 4 shows a list of the environmental activities conducted for the power plant within the coverage period and the dates when it was being made.
30. KSPC together with CPG has arranged long-term agreements with APO Cement and GTCI to haul and recycle the ash generated during the operation of the plant. For APO Cement, it can recycle 100 tons of fly ash per day and 20 tons of bed ash per day, GTCI on the other hand can recycle 20 tons of fly ash per day.

31. Much of the complaints received against the power plant are those pertaining to dust emissions. Though there are other potential sources such as vehicle-based emissions, emissions from the nearby cement plant (4-km away), and emissions from the old Naga Power Plant right across the street, KSPC is continuously finding long-term solutions that shall ensure the public that the emissions are not from the power plant while implementing intermediate control measures such as water spraying and other material handling techniques. Construction of walling and roofing of the open coal yard was also done to minimize dust pollution of nearby barangays. The company is also in close coordination with the affected communities regarding this intermittent issue and is always ready to extend any necessary help.
4.2 Social Progress
32. Aside from addressing the impending power shortage, KSPC is also building a community and is helping create better lives for the residents. KSPC is implementing a Social Development Plan and Corporate Social Responsibilities (SDP and CSR)
10
Program that is rooted from the principle of sustainable community development. This SDP & CSR Program is focused on Health, Education, Environment and Livelihood.
33. From 2009 and 2010, when the power plant is still under construction, the company spent almost P1 million for various community projects Another P 2.8 million was spent in 2011 and 2013. These projects include the donation of equipment for the upgrading of the facilities of the city and barangay health centers. Medical and Dental Missions are also continually conducted to monitor the health of the community, especially of the children and elderly. In June 2011, KSPC started sending regularly a doctor to six barangays for free health check-up of the local residents. To further address the health needs of the residents, feeding programs and provision of vitamins supplements, as well as distribution of toothpaste and toothbrushes to day care and elementary students are also being done.
34. Acknowledging the importance of education to nation-building, KSPC has been supporting the public school through donations of computer, dictionaries and other reference materials; donation of book shelves, tables and chairs for the school library; sponsorship of athletic activities. Skills development training for the out-of-school youth and unemployed women of the barangay were also conducted under the Alternative Learning System Program of the Department of Education.
35. KSPC maintains good relations with its host communities by supporting and participating in community events such as basketball tournaments during summertime; supporting the activities of the senior citizens, hosting of Children’s Party during Christmas and providing financial assistance for cultural activities for fiestas and foundation celebrations. On a regular basis, KSPC engage in productive conversations and interactions with the stakeholders that include the local community, to know their priority needs and to be able to better address these.
36. The SDP & CSR Program is not the only thing that the host communities are going to enjoy. There are greater things to come for the continuing development of the community under the Benefits to Host Communities provided for in the Energy Regulations (ER) 1- 94.
37. The ER funds from KSPC’s 200 megawatts or 200,000 kilowatt-hours generation facility is estimated to be at least 14 million pesos per year. Thus, for 25 years of operation, these benefits can electrify several barangays, pave so many roads, and construct many water systems and other basic facilities. And because of this, KSPC shall be recognized not only as a top provider of electric generation in the Visayas but also as a strong partner in the continuing growth and progress of the community.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN i. Progress on Implementation of Livelihood and Community Development Programs for People Relocated from Naga Land and Project T/L
38. As part of the power plant’s host community, the people relocated from Naga Land and Project T/L continue to enjoy community projects under the annual Social Development Plan and Corporate Social Responsibilities (SDP/CSR) Program that KSPC has been implementing. They will also enjoy projects to be derived from the financial benefits to be provided under Energy Regulations (ER) 1-94.
5. SUMMARY OF SAFETY PERFORMANCE AND ANY CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
39. An annual report is provided by the Operator on the safety performance of the project clocked around 264,738 man-hours. Assessment of the report indicates that the Cebu Power Plant is performing well in implementing safety performance guidelines as well as in inculcating safety awareness in the endeavors of personnel within the site. Table 6 shows a summary of the plant’s safety performance indicators.
40. Fire drills and other emergency response procedures were performed within the year. These procedures are carefully reviewed every year for continuous improvement. The following are future plans in further developing the health and safety aspect of the power plant:
Augmentation in the health and safety organization of the power plant including the recruitment of additional personnel. Improvement in the power plant’s safety and emergency response trainings and increase in the frequency of conducting these trainings in a year.
6. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS
41. A regular tree planting activity and coastal clean up spearhead by the Environmental Team is being conducted involving the members of the Multi-partite Monitoring Team. The community projects under the SDP and CSR Program are being implemented in partnership with the concerned government agencies and LGU officials, such as the Department of Education (DepEd) and the City Health Office. The annual livelihood training programs are tied up with DepEd’s Alternative Learning System Program while the trainers are tapped from Technical Education & Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

42. KSPC’s plan of recycling all of its ash material is one promising sustainable development initiative. The company is still doing further research on possible uses of the ash material. Other future plans on sustainable development include programs on solid waste segregation and recycling, and development of a zero wastewater program.

I. Background / Profile of the Adopted Water Body
KSPC adopted two bodies of water for the Adopt‐an‐Estero/Water Body Program with DENR‐EMB. These are a) 860‐m portion of the Bohol Strait, and b) 475‐m portion of the Pangdan River.
The Bohol Strait was adopted since it is directly fronting the company’s power plant coast in Naga City. It is a seawater‐type body separating Cebu island and Bohol island. The strait is often used as passage ways for big marine vessels domestic and international. Coastal areas along the strait harbor a lot of solid waste from the sea and from domestic sources. This is a growing concern for the community and KSPC as the presence of these wastes can destroy marine life, lower fish catch, and may adversely affect the power plant’s water intake, cooling, and treatment systems. Thus KSPC decided that the identified portion of the Bohol strait be regularly kept clean through the program.
Pangdan River is a natural watercourse in Naga City which drains rain/fresh water from the land to the Bohol Strait. The river is usually at high levels (3‐5 m) during heavy rains and normally at low levels (0.5 m below). As part of its commitment, KSPC is targeting to protect the river banks and lessen erosion to the river particularly when heavy rains occur by applying the appropriate measures.

Minutes of Meeting and Summary
2x 100 MW CEBU POWER PLANT Public Consultation on KSPC’s New Ash Disposal Plan
2013.05.23
KSPC Power Plant Cebu Site
Minutes of Meeting and Summary
I. KSPC’sNew Ash Disposal Plan Presentation and Public Consultation
• Opening Remarks : KSPC C&PR Department General Manager, Victorio Naval
• Presentation Proper:
Rationale - Compliance on KSPC’s policies and commitments on environmental protection and public awareness - Satisfaction of National Government Institutional requirements particularly related to laws, rules and regulations - Compliance of the Finance parties requirements - Presentation on Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) of the New Ash Disposal Plan
Objectives - To educate and update the stakeholders on KSPC’s new scheme of Ash Disposal Plan including the projected impacts and respective control and mitigating measures by KSPC - To provide a general overview of KSPC’s Cebu Power Plant and its operation - To solicit and take into consideration the opinions, comments, complaints, and suggestions of the stakeholders - To ultimately create a mutually beneficial partnership with the stakeholders and the community
• Presentation of the general overview of the Cebu Power Plant and its operations
• Firstly, KSPC has explained the background of the company and its partner, Salcon Power Corporation (SPC). Second, informed the public on how the power plant operates using the Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) including its advantages. Among these advantages of KSPC, are proven technology, great EPC provider because it is internationally recognized and excellent O & M performance. • Currently, more than 300 power plants worldwide including Europe and the America are using this kind of technology. In the Philippines, KSPC is one of the pioneering companies to use it. To
Minutes of Meeting and Summary
prove it is successful, Aboitiz group, a competitor is now developing a power plant in Toledo to use CFBC technology. • To serve as background, KSPC has reported the old scheme on Ash Disposal Plan. At first glance, KSPC has 311 days to operate in a year, and having a daily capacity of 120MT of Fly Ash (FA) and 20MT of Bed Ash (BA). No concrete agreements signed yet in 2012.
• The previous scheme involves MFI, GTCI (both recycling companies), the BA Landfill facility, Emergency Ash Pond B, and the FDRC facility. For some reason, MFI’s operations got delayed and GTCI expressed FA color problems. The off-site landfill option also proved to be a volatile alternative. However, around that time from May to October 2012, there were already reactive developments such as the KSPC’s meeting with APO and CPG on testing KSPC’s ash for a long term agreement on ash recycling. Another development was the agreement between CPG and GTCI (May 2012) to withdraw 20MT FA per day. Around this time KSPC developed the idea of constructing and expanding on-site ash ponds instead of maintaining an off-site facility.
• By September 2012, CPG and APO closed a deal on recycling 100MT FA and 20MT BA per day of KSPC. By October 2012, KSPC has finalized its decision in developing on-site ash ponds. Currently, these are the two main recycling companies being contracted with KSPC’s ash disposal process: APO Cement with 100MT/day FA and 20MT/day BA, and GTCI with 20MT/day FA. In short, this is the total daily capacity of ash that KSPC operates which also means there is no excess capacity being stock.
• KSPC has also provided or explained to the public the process flow of the new Ash Disposal Plan through the illustration of drawings as well as actual pictures during the loading and un- loading from silo, and transporting of ash to APO and GTCI. We have emphasized the use of covered dump trucks and closed bulk carrier. All other measures necessary to prevent or mitigate the predicted impacts to cause air (dust)/noise pollution and water pollution were also discussed.
