At full capacity, Sual Power Station uses as much as 10,572 tons of coal per day.
Water recycling
Water recycling
Sual Power Station uses seawater to condense steam, and by doing so, conserves water by being able to recover and recycle water from the condensed steam.
Electrostatic Precipitator

The Luzon grid demonstrated an available capacity of 2,300 to 3,100 MW, notably lower than its installed capacity of 4,321 MW.
Similarly, in Mindanao, the available capacity trailed behind its installed counterpart, registering a deficit of 600 MW compared to the installed capacity of 1,053 MW.
COAL FACTS
Coal is one of the cheapest materials to use in creating energy
Coal and ash is sprinkled down regularly with water to prevent it from reigniting and to prevent the ash from being flown away from the wind.
Bituminous coal is a special type of coal that is imported from Indonesia to be used in the plant. Bituminous coal is used due to its higher British thermal unit (Btu) compared to the regular "baby" coal found commonly in the Philippines.
The Sual power plant's coal yard is 25 meters in diameter
