Philippines banks on solar – pv magazine
Given the limited scale of solar in the Philippines, it is perhaps surprising that there are plans to develop one of the world''s biggest combined PV and energy storage projects in the...
View DetailsInstalled PV capacity reached 2.3 GW, with 820 MW of solar added in 2024, breaking the previous record of 320 MW of newly installed capacity in 2021. Even so, this was far below the 2 GW of new solar the government has forecast for 2024. Manila's ambitions were frustrated by project delays.
The Phase I project, which was recently contracted, encompasses 1.4 GW of PV capacity and 3.3 GWh of energy storage capacity. Construction activities are scheduled to commence in November 2024, with the facility expected to enter commercial operation by 2026.
The 3,500-hectare site will power around 2.4 million households, based on typical monthly demand for 200 kWh. Luzon, the country's largest island, counted 64 million residents in 2021, and hosts just over half of the Philippines' population, the capital city of Manila, and most of the nation's industrial capacity.
