GNPower Mariveles Energy Center Ltd. Co. (formerly "GNPower Mariveles Coal Plant Ltd. Co.") is a subcritical coal-fired power plant in Mariveles, Bataan. The 600-MW facility was connected to the Luzon power grid on January 21, 2013.[1] The facility was a joint project of GNPower Mariveles Energy Center Ltd. Co. and AC Energy.[2]

Two additional units are under construction, both with 600-MW capacity. It was scheduled in early 2016 that the construction of the first unit which would cost P1 billion would commence.[2]

Aboitiz Power Corporation (AP), through their wholly-owned subsidiary Therma Power, Inc. acquired 66.1 percent ownership interest. It was completed on December 27, 2016.[citation needed]
