The Tayabas-Lucban geothermal project occupies 75,006 hectares in the province of Quezon, straddling the municipalities of Liliw, Luisiana, Majayjay and Nagcarlan in Laguna as well as Lucban, Lucena, Mauban, Pagbilao, Sampaloc, Sariaya and Tayabas in Quezon. The project area is east of the Tiaong-Dolores geothermal project, across the Mount Banahaw Volcanic complex. Like Tiaong-Dolores, the Tayabas-Lucban project is within Meralco’s franchise area. On average, it takes about three and a half hours drive from the capital to reach Lucban, which is located approximately 160 kilometers from Metro Manila via Lucena City or 133 kilometers from Metro Manila via Santa Cruz, Pagsanjan.
