SUBIC DPP is a 116 MW oil-fired power plant located in the Philippines. It is one of the facilities operated in the country since its commissioning. The plant contributes to the Philippines' overall oil generation capacity. It is the 6th largest oil plant in the Philippines. With 116 MW, it represents 3.64% of the country's total oil capacity of 3,190 MW. The Philippines has 32 oil plants with a combined capacity of 3,190 MW. Compared to the country's largest oil plant, MALAYA at 650 MW, this facility is approximately 18% the size. Oil is a significant component of the Philippines' energy mix, contributing to around 9% of the total electricity generation. The country relies on oil for its energy needs, particularly in areas where other resources may not be as accessible. SUBIC DPP is located approximately 100 km northwest of Manila in the Luzon region.

An Overview of Oil as a Power Generation Energy Source
Oil power generation involves the combustion of oil to produce electricity. The process typically begins with the extraction and refining of crude oil, which is then burned in a power plant to create steam. This steam drives turbines connected to generators, converting thermal energy into electrical energy. Oil power plants can vary in design, including steam turbine plants, gas turbine plants, and combined cycle plants, which utilize both gas and steam turbines to enhance efficiency. As of now, there are 2,416 oil power plants worldwide, distributed across 108 countries, with a total installed capacity of 286.9 gigawatts (GW).
