A proposed pumped-storage hydropower project in the area has been approved by the Department of Energy and is expected to generate up to 2 gigawatts of renewable power using a “water battery” system, helping stabilize the Luzon power grid as electricity demand continues to rise. https://media.assettype.com/gulfnews/2026-08-07/5212d9k7/top-view-of-river-Pudtol.jpg Top view of a river in Pudtol municipality in, Apayao province, about 570km north of Manila. https://media.assettype.com/gulfnews/2026-08-07/az16dmuk/Maton.jpg Location map of the Maton Pumped-Storage Hydroelectric Project (Maton PSHPP), a 2GW facility in Barangays Upper Maton and Lt.

Altogether, these megastructures produce gigawatts (GW) of electricity to power millions of households. With at least 20 hydropower projects in the pipeline, this unprecendented move has potential to generate multiple gigawatts of electricty, according to the Department of Energy. The abundance of rivers and natural water falls makes the Philippines an ideal place to harness hydroelectric power. https://media.assettype.com/gulfnews/2026-08-07/kmnmtm1b/Andritz-group-11-pspp-principles-data.jpg A schematic design of how pumped-storage hydropower plant (PSHPP) works. https://media.assettype.com/gulfnews/2026-08-07/ctqq7osb/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-1.11.44-PM.png Some of the popular waterfalls in the Philippines.
