Philippines to host 1 GW

Solar Philippines is planning to deploy several unsubsidized solar plants in the provinces of Batangas, Cavite, Nueva Ecija, and Tarlac.
Manila-based PV module manufacturer and project developer Solar Philippines has announced it will be installing, next year, over 1 GW of solar projects in the provinces of Batangas, Cavite, Nueva Ecija, and Tarlac.“ These projects are under PPAs and are apart from our projects for the announced auctions, which will still come at a later date,” the company's CEO, Leandro Leviste, told pv magazine. “The capacities among these projects will be disclosed at a later date but we confirm the total for 2021 exceeds 1 GW.”

Leviste also stressed the difficulty of securing land, permits, and interconnection for these solar projects, despite their very attractive economics. “It has taken our company six years to develop our sites and now the sites have gotten to this stage, we are hopeful that in 2021 we will open the floodgates for solar in the Philippines,” he stated. “Some of these projects use modules produced by our company but not all, given the volume of these requirements.”
