Cognizant of the adverse effects of climate change and global warming due to excessive carbon emissions, the City Government of Vigan in its attempt to contribute to the reduction of such, entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Pacific Ecology and Environment, Inc.(PEEI) for the conduct of a feasibility study for the establishment of a Biomass Power Plant in this Heritage City.
If found feasible, Pacific Ecology and Environment, Inc. will construct the renewable energy plant on a Built-Operate-Transfer scheme. This will spare the city from spending at least 200 million pesos and can channel its limited resources to other equally important projects.
