Laconwap Green Energy Inc. (LGEI) is developing an 8.0 MW run-of-river hydroelectric power facility across Nagtipunan, Quirino and Dupax del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya — powering Northern Luzon with 38.5 GWh of clean, renewable energy annually.
Key milestones achieved as of December 2025 across technical, legal, and financial domains.
Navigate through satellite imagery, official DOE surveys, watershed analysis and engineering plans of the 8 MW facility.
Aerial view of the Laconwap 3 scheme showing the intake dam at elevation 600m ASL, the 2.7 km penstock alignment following river contours, and the powerhouse at 445m ASL in Nagtipunan, Quirino.
River water is diverted at 600m ASL through a weir dam and headrace channel into the penstock system.
Water flows through a 2.7 km steel penstock, gaining kinetic energy as it drops 155m in elevation.
High-pressure water spins twin Francis turbines at 750 RPM, driving generators producing 8 MW of clean electricity.
Electricity is stepped up to 69 kV and fed into the Luzon grid via a dedicated transmission line to power Northern Luzon.
