EDC 2014 SR (UPDATED)

EDC 2014 Performance Report
geothermal and now, wind and
solar energy sources and into
other regions, EDC is continuously
reviewing and aligning its operational
presence with the areas’ unique and
evolving biodiversity portfolio to
ensure a balanced and positive coexistence
with these new forms of
renewable energy in these areas and
communities. In 2014, we entered
an 891-hectare exploration area
in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, for solar
energy under a service contract with
the Department of Energy, and this
does not overlap nor stand adjacent
to any protected area. This brings
the total of new exploration areas at
pre-construction and construction
phases (two areas were entered for
wind exploration in 2013) to 2,921.55
hectares in Ilocos Norte, none of
which surrounds or is adjacent to any
protected area.
We continue to adopt international
Besra (Accipiter virgatus)
NOx, SOx, and other significant emissions
• Emissions were limited only from the operation and maintenance of standby generator sets, fire pumps, black start engines, and other similar sources
• Each source was operated at least 15 min/week for maintenance purposes
• Leyte emissions increased in 2013 due to the additional utilization of generator sets after Typhoon Yolanda last November 2013

Notes: Hazardous wastes are transported, treated/recycled and disposed of by a DENR-accredited transporter and treater. Methods of treatment and disposal
are provided by the treater. Recyclable non-hazardous wastes are sold to recyclers through bidding. Residual wastes are disposed of by the company in a landfill
