Sucat Thermal Power Plant was an oil-fired steam turbine plant in Muntinlupa commissioned in 1968[1] and fully decommissioned in 2002. The land occupied by the facility was planned to be auctioned by the government to private bidders in late 2015 or early 2016 on the condition that the property would remain a power-generation site. Rehabilitation of the facility was considered but later abandoned after it was deemed too costly to recommission the plant compared to constructing a new one, and the facility is already flooded.[2][3]
