The ROMELCO Power Station 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 oil energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the ROMELCO, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 1998, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Philippines, ROMELCO Power Station occupies the #25 position among all operational oil power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Philippines's total installed oil generating capacity, which currently stands at 3,190 MW. The largest operational oil installation in Philippines is the MALAYA with an output of 650 MW, making the ROMELCO Power Station 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 oil power plants (modeled at 15% 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 12.9386° latitude and 122.0964° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the NPC Diesel Power Plant (oil-fired, 0 MW), the Romblon Wind Farm (wind-powered, 0 MW), the NPC Power Plant (oil-fired, 0 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.
