Questions about hydro in the Philippines

What is the largest hydropower plant in the Philippines?+

The largest operating hydropower plant on record in the Philippines is Kalayaan Hydroelectric Power Plant at 739 MW. Ranked by the capacity figure in the public source named on the record, whole project rather than any partner's share.

What is the largest hydropower plant planned in the Philippines?+

Maton Pumped Storage hydroelectric plant at 2,000 MW, at concept stage. Of the 9.3 GW of hydro on record for the Philippines, 4.1 GW is operating; the rest is announced or being built.

How many hydropower plants does the Philippines have?+

Solandor holds 57 hydro records for the Philippines with a stated capacity, 27 of them operating. That is the public record from the datasets named on each row, not a census: small plants below tracker thresholds are missing from the sources and so from here.
