All of these projects are scheduled to become operational within the next month. The DOE said that once these projects are integrated into the grid, they will provide critical near-term capacity to reinforce supply margins and strengthen grid reliability.
These projects consist of: 12 solar projects with a combined capacity of 1284 MW, 6 hydropower projects with a combined capacity of 48.23 MW, 2 biomass projects with a combined capacity of 38 MW, 1 storage system with a capacity of 20 MW, and 1 wind plant with a capacity of 13.65 MW.
The DOE said that it is coordinating with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), and the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) to address outstanding transmission, interconnection, inspection, registration, and metering requirements, and to prevent avoidable delays in commercial operations.
