I. BACKGROUND ON THE PROPERTY The Property covers an aggregate land area of 257,995 square meters more or less, including the land underlying the 215 MW Baung Diesel Power Plant (BDPP). The Property is owned by National Power Corporation (NPC)/PSALM while the BDPP is owned by the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) and currently operated and maintained by 1590 Energy Corporation. The BDPP is a 215 MW diesel power plant constructed by First Private Power Corporation (FPPC) under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) agreement with NPC. The BOT agreement was executed on January 11,1993 for a 15-year cooperation period reckoned from its commercial operation on July 25, 1995, or until July 25, 2010. The BOT agreement provided for the creation of the Bauang Private Power Corporation (BPPC) that will own, manage and operate the power plant, and assume and perform FPPC’s obligation. In July 2010, at the end of the term of the BOT contract, the BPPC turned over the BDPP to PSALM/NPC which turned over the same to the PGLU. The PGLU foreclosed the Bauang DPP assets consistent with the Supreme Court Decision G.R. No. 171470 dated 30 January 2009, and other legal proceedings due to NPC’s non-payment of real property taxes. Notwithstanding the forfeiture of BDPP, PSALM/NPC still owns the land underlying the BDPP.

Manufacturing has the smallest contribution with small to medium sized rice mills, furniture shops and bakeries.
