The Sibulan hydropower project is a vital Greenfield project for Southern Mindanao. It will deliver over 200 million kilowatt-hours annually of Cleanergy, AboitizPower's brand for clean and renewable energy, to Davao Light to augment its power supply to sustain Davao's impressive growth.

The Sibulan Hydroelectric Power Plants have been generating 42.5 MW of clean and renewable energy for Davao since 2010. The first of two cascading plants, Sibulan A Hydro produces 16.5 MW and the water it utilizes is re-used in the Sibulan B Hydro to produce 26 MW.
