Kool Earth Corner

Last May 22, 2011, Kool Earth President Chita Heap, Sec. Megs Lunn and one of KE Consultants, Col. Hamish M. Adams (Ret) were invited to the secretariat meeting of the Aklan Provincial Planning Development, headed by Engr. Roger Esto and chairman of the Aklan River Development team led by former congressman, Atty. Allen S. Quimpo.

The meeting was for Kool Earth to present ‘An Evaluation of the Relative Merits of Producing Electrical Power’ in Aklan Province by Biomass Compared to Other Forms of Renewable Energy. To shorten the presentation, Col. Adams, who made the presentation for Kool Earth, gave a summary on the proposed Hydro Electric Power Station for Aklan the River in Dalagsaan, Libacao.

Two days before the invitation, Pres. Chita and Col. Adams made a courtesy call to Atty. Allen S. Quimpo, to explain the five (5) Advantages of the Hydroelectric Project which are as follows: 1.A More reliable and much cheaper power supply for the residents of Panay, resulting in fewer ’brown outs’, 2.A Reduction in the burden on the National Grid, 3. Enablement of the authorities to control the downstream flow of water in the Aklan River, 4.Enablement of an improved irrigation for Aklan, 5. Drinking and Irrigation Water Supply for Iloilo Province. Upon hearing of these advantages, Atty. Allen was delighted. As a consequence KE movers were invited to the meeting./TE
