Philippines nuclear power plant

Philippines nuclear power plant is a 40 MW nuclear power plant in Bulacan, Philippines. It ranks #131 of 186 Philippines power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, nuclear supplies about 0.0% of Philippines's electricity; the national grid averages 588 gCO₂/kWh (23.3% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares

Technically it is described as gas-cooled reactor. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Nuclear plants split uranium to raise steam with no direct CO₂; they run as steady baseload with very high capacity factors and the longest operating lifetimes of any thermal plant.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
