Calaca power station is a 900-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Batangas, the Philippines. A proposed
expansion to increase the plant's capacity by an additional 700 MW was cancelled in November 2020.
The original Calaca power station is a 600-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station owned by DMCI Holdings in
Calaca, the Philippines.[1] Units 1 and 2 of the plant, each 300 MW, were commissioned in 1984 and 1995 respectively.

DMCI bought the plant from the Philippine government in July 2009 for $361 million. [3]
In May 2016, SEM-Calaca began a restoration project on the original two 300-MW units of Calaca. The two units had
degraded since construction, and had an output of only 500 MW. The goal of the restoration was to bring them back
up to 600 MW.
