The Manila Thermal Power Plant is a key infrastructure asset in Philippines's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing coal energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the National Power Corporation, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Philippines, Manila Thermal Power Plant occupies the #34 position among all operational coal power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Philippines's total installed coal generating capacity, which currently stands at 13,351 MW. The largest operational coal installation in Philippines is the Sual Power Plant with an output of 1,218 MW, making the Manila Thermal Power Plant approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Philippines's aggregate generation capacity of 35,822 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of coal power plants (modeled at 55% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Philippines consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 14.5886° latitude and 120.9890° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Sucat Thermal Power Plant (gas-fired, 850 MW), the MALAYA (oil-fired, 650 MW), the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (oil-fired, 648 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Philippines.
