Project Description

The Ambuklao Hydro Electric Power Plant (AHEP), located in Ambuklao, Bokod, Benguet was constructed in July 1950 and commissioned in December 1956. It has a capacity of 75 MW consisting of three units of 25 MW each and a high rockfill dam that lies along the Agno River. In 1990, AHEP was damaged by an earthquake and repeated aftershocks.
