Quezon Power (Philippines), Limited Co. owns and operates the 460MW net coal-fired electric generating facility and the 31-kilometer transmission line in Barangay Cagsiay 1 in the municipality of Mauban, Quezon. It began commercial operations in May 2000 and to this day continues to deliver power to the Luzon grid through a 25-year power purchase agreement and transmission line agreement with the Manila Electric Co.
